The text of the remplate is false and even contradicts its reference: meta:Legal/CC BY-SA licenses and social media. See discussion at Commons:Village_pump#Is_Template:Nofacebook_valid?. Jarekt (talk) 13:14, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Keep Es geht nicht nur um CC-BY-SA, die Vorlage wird auch mit anderen Lizenzen benutzt. Selbst wenn es theoretisch möglich ist, werden Fotos in der Praxis bei Facebook fast ausnahmslos ohne Einhaltung der Lizenzbedingungen benutzt. Google Translate: It's not just about CC-BY-SA, the template is also used with other licenses. Even if it is theoretically possible, in practice photos are used on Facebook almost without exception without compliance with the license conditions. --Ralf Roletschek 20:54, 18 September 2020 (UTC)- zuerst

Weak delete This, as written, is inconsistent with Commons policy and is redundant with the terms of the given licenses. I say weak delete because it could be kept if it instead says "the uploader requests that you not use this file on Facebook; however, you may do so regardless of that statement so long as you follow the terms of the license." -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 13:09, 23 September 2020 (UTC)- I do not know if the following applies to the Terms of Use for Facebook, but a situation that comes to mind is where a social media site's TOU includes a provision like "You may not download content that you did not create except for personal noncommercial use." If a user uploads a CC-licensed image to such a social media site and the user is not the image's copyright holder, then a question comes to mind as to whether the site's TOU restriction on downloading would be an additional legal restriction and whether the uploader of the image has violated the CC license. (From what I understand, CC licenses do not allow reusers to apply additional legal restrictions and/or technological measures (i.e., DRM) that would restrict a reuser from exercising the rights granted under the CC license.) --Gazebo (talk) 09:08, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- To comply with the cc license a link to the original image is needed. The link from the legal used image on facebook leads to the description page on commons and the image can be downloaded without restriction from commons. If the facebook user does not add a link to commons, it does not count if download restrictions on facebook exist: The conditions of the license are not met. --C.Suthorn (talk) 10:33, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Ralf and Gazebo's analysis. Only the copyright holder may upload to Facebook under their TOU. — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 10:22, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
Comment In addition to not being based on legal facts this assertion is fully wrong and only based on a misunderstanding of the social media's TOU, as it is well explained in meta:Legal/CC BY-SA licenses and social media. There is something indisputably wrong to widely broadcast a bogus message on our files. Worse and more important, it's totally the opposite of the aim of Wikimedia Commons "providing knowledge; instructional or informative". Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:35, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Deleted: per nomination and my comment above - this template, showing false information, goes against our project scope. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:38, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
