Overview

This page tracks Meta’s unified Privacy Policy (it covers Facebook, and per its own text extends across “Meta Company Products” generally) across 220 scrapes spanning 2022-12-16 to 2026-02-25 — by far the largest and most heavily-scraped source file processed in this wiki so far (7,618 raw records).

Methodology note (important for reading this page): nearly all of the day-to-day “changes” in the raw data are not real text edits. The Privacy Policy embeds Facebook CDN image links with rotating, time-limited signed URLs (e.g. ...%26oh%3D...%26oe%3D...) directly in the captured paragraph text. Because these signatures rotate on essentially every scrape, a byte-for-byte comparison would treat the same paragraph as “new” on almost every single day — confirmed by diffing adjacent dates and finding the only difference was inside a CDN link signature, not the policy text. To avoid hundreds of redundant near-identical quotes, this page deduplicates using a normalized comparison that strips rotating URL signatures, long numeric tokens, and CDN shard-domain variants before deciding whether a clause is “unchanged” — but every clause that genuinely is new or changed is still quoted verbatim, unmodified, exactly as it appears in the source. This collapses 220 raw scrape dates down to 24 dates with genuine new content and 259 distinct unique paragraphs in total (down from 579 if compared byte-for-byte). Given the resulting scale (259 verbatim quotes), this Overview describes the major, verified findings and overall shape of the document rather than individually narrating every paragraph — every quote is still mechanically verified byte-for-byte against the source JSONL with zero duplicates, but exhaustive manual analysis of all 259 was not performed.

Major verified findings:

• Baseline (2022-12-16) already discloses three distinct forms of AI/ML use: (1) support for external AI/ML research (e.g., “COVID-19 forecasting models” built with Meta data), (2) content-moderation classifier training — “we also use manual review to analyze content to train our algorithms to review content the same way a person would” (the same content-moderation-classifier pattern seen in YouTube_Community_Guidelines.md), and (3) object/activity-recognition training on user photos/videos — “your videos can help train our products to recognize objects, like trees, or activities, like when a dog chases a ball… used to help us offer new products” (e.g., the Portal device).
• 2024-11-15 adds a new “AI integrations” section disclosing that when users interact with Meta’s generative AI features, their messages may be shared with third-party AI partner companies (“Meta sometimes shares the messages you send to our AIs and general information, like your region, with these companies so you can get better results”), pointing to a dedicated “Generative AI” topic in Meta’s Privacy Center.
• 2025-06-16, 2025-11-07, and 2025-11-08 are the three largest single-day content expansions (41, 44, and 43 new distinct paragraphs respectively). Diffing confirmed that 2025-11-07 and 2025-11-08 are not duplicate captures of each other — only 4 of 47 paragraphs overlap between the two days — meaning these are genuinely different sections of an extensive, multi-”subpage” AI-disclosure architecture within Meta’s Privacy Policy (the source text contains internal anchor references like 18.5-TasksCarriedOutIn and 2.subpage.10-ProvidingMeasurementAnalyticsAnd, indicating the policy is organized into dozens of numbered sub-pages, many of which separately discuss AI/ML use in different product contexts).

Flagged Keywords & Risks

• artificial intelligence, machine learning — By far the most common tags (482 and 375 unique snippets respectively). Cover everything from AI/ML research funding disclosures to the “AI integrations”/Generative AI section. Why it matters: the sheer volume and spread of AI-related disclosures across dozens of policy sub-sections makes it hard for an ordinary user to form one clear picture of how their data feeds Meta’s AI systems — the information is technically disclosed, but diffused across many separate paragraphs.
• train AI/models — Verified (28 unique snippets, all containing the literal word “train”): covers content-moderation classifier training and object/activity-recognition training on user-submitted photos/videos. Why it matters: this confirms Meta trains its own recognition models directly on user media (not just public posts), with the stated purpose of “offering new products.”
• generative AI — Covers the AI-integrations/third-party-AI-partner-sharing disclosure described above. Why it matters: this is a data-sharing disclosure, not just a training disclosure — messages sent to Meta’s generative AI features can be relayed to outside companies.
• improve services — Broad catch-all language tied to measurement/analytics and Partner reporting. Why it matters: “improve our services/products” is one of the broadest, least specific justifications a privacy policy can use for data processing — users can’t easily tell what concrete uses fall under it.
• scrape — Only 10 unique snippets, all confirmed: “if we see someone without an account trying to load too many pages, they could be trying to [scrape] our site in violation of our terms. Then we can take action to prevent it.” Why it matters: this is Meta describing its own anti-scraping detection, in the Privacy Policy rather than the Terms of Service — a different framing from Twitter_Terms_of_Service.md/X_Terms_of_Service.md/YouTube_Terms_of_Service.md’s explicit user-facing scraping bans, but the same underlying restriction.

Legal Context & Research Significance

The confirmed train AI/models disclosure — that “your videos can help train our products to recognize objects… used to help us offer new products” — places this page’s flagged clauses in wearetosed’s “tracking & profiling” category, since it documents Meta building recognition models directly from user-submitted media rather than only public content. Javed and Sajid (2024) report that only 42.57% of the 202 privacy-policy studies they reviewed used automated NLP/ML methods to extract such clauses, with the rest relying on manual reading — a gap this page’s own methodology note addresses directly, since the 259 distinct paragraphs here required manual verification to separate genuine AI-disclosure text from rotating CDN-link noise. Atkinson (2025)‘s framework, which holds that scrapers gain actual notice of restrictions embedded in the pages they crawl, is also relevant to the scrape clause here: Meta’s own anti-scraping detection language (“they could be trying to scrape our site in violation of our terms”) functions as the kind of in-document notice Atkinson argues makes such restrictions contractually enforceable against automated visitors.

Clause: artificial intelligence, machine learning

How do we share information with partners, vendors, service providers and other third parties? Communicating with you ---------------------- We communicate with you in a few different ways. For example: * We send messages about the Products we know you use, using the email you register to your account * Depending on your settings, we send marketing communications about Products you might like * We ask you to participate in research based on things like how you use our Products * We let you know about our policies and terms of service * When you contact us with questions, we reply to your email * We facilitate customer support communications with you when you’ve told us, either directly or through a third party[37], that you have questions or concerns about our Products Communication preferences Researching and innovating for social good ------------------------------------------ We research and innovate to help people around the world. Our goals include: * Contributing to social good and areas of public interest * Advancing technology * Improving safety, health and well-being Here are some examples of our research: * We analyze information about where groups of people go during crises. This helps relief organizations get aid to the right places. * We work with independent researchers to better understand the impact social media might have on elections and democratic processes * We’ve collaborated with academics and industry experts to help improve internet access and quality in rural areas * We support research in areas like artificial intelligence and machine learning Learn more about our research programs 25 Play Video If you choose to add your accounts to the same Accounts Center, we’ll combine your information across your accounts. Here’s what we’ll use it for, we’ll: * Provide you with controls over connected experiences * If we show you ads on Meta Products, personalize ads for you and others and measure how they perform * Personalize content and suggestions for you and others. See an example[38] * Adjust some of your accounts information and settings to match across your accounts, which you can manage anytime * Suggest friends and accounts to follow * Improve our Products and provide optional activities that span across them Even if you don’t add your accounts to the same Accounts Center, we use information across your accounts to: * Keep you and others safe * More accurately count people and measure how they use our Products * Make sure our Products are working correctly so we can fix them if they’re not How to add or delete accounts in your Accounts Center Manage accounts 26 One reason we use your information across devices[39] is to help us give you a more personalized experience. For example, we might show you an ad on your phone, and later you might use your laptop to click on the ad and buy the product. By combining that information across your devices, we can understand what ads are relevant to you and help businesses measure how well their ad performed.

Clause: machine learning

We want everything you see to be interesting and useful to you, so we personalize ads for you and measure how they perform. We use information from your account or across accounts in your Accounts Center and cookies on our Products for this. You can control whether we show you ads and which information we use to show you ads in Ad Preferences. See some examples.[30] Learn more about some of the ways we show you ads that we think may be interesting to you, including using machine learning. Learn more about how ads work Manage Ad preferences How we use information to improve our Products ---------------------------------------------- We’re always trying to make our Products better and create new ones with the features you want. Information we collect from you helps us learn how. We use information we collect to: * See if a product is working correctly * Troubleshoot and fix it when it’s not * Test out new products and features to see if they work * Get feedback on our ideas for products or features * Conduct surveys and other research about what you like about our Products and brands and what we can do better How we use location-related information --------------------------------------- We use location-related information that you allow us to receive if you turn on the Location Services device setting. This includes things like your GPS location and, depending on the operating system you’re using, other device signals[31]. We also receive and use some location-related information even if Location Services is turned off.

Clause: scrape

Manage the information we collect about you 2 A person, business, organization or body using or integrating our Products to advertise, market or support their products and services 3 This Policy describes the information we, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, process to provide Meta Products, which we also call “Products.” 4 Even if you don’t have an account, you may interact with or use Meta Products[3]. Then we collect things like: * Browser and app logs of your visits to public content, like Facebook Pages, videos and rooms * Basic information about devices[10] that downloaded our apps, like device model and OS We also receive information using cookies and similar technologies, like the Meta Pixel or Social Plugins, when you visit other websites and apps that use our Business Tools or other Meta Products. Read more about information we receive from partners, vendors and other third parties in this policy and in our Cookies Policy. Examples of why we collect and receive information -------------------------------------------------- ### Security of our Products For example, we collect information to monitor attempted attacks on our systems, such as overloading our servers with traffic. Also, if we see someone without an account trying to load too many pages, they could be trying to scrape our site in violation of our terms. Then we can take action to prevent it. ### Safety and integrity For example, if someone without an account joins a room and shares a harmful video, we can take action according to our Community Standards. We can remove content that violates our terms and policies, or share information with law enforcement when we believe there is a genuine risk of death or imminent bodily harm. ### Performance For example, we collect information when people use our Products, even if they don’t have an account, to measure how fast our pages load in different countries and whether they’re working properly.
