This page tracks Meta's consumer-facing Facebook Terms of Service across 78 scrapes spanning 2022-07-11 to 2025-11-07. It covers the core user-Content license grant ("The permissions you give us"), an AI/ML/augmented-reality disclosure framed around accessibility and abuse detection, the anti-scraping clause, the Terms-update boilerplate ("develop new features"), and a notably reversed-direction assignability clause. Only 28 unique snippets appear across the entire 1,087-record, 3+ year file — most of the 78 scrape dates are pure duplicates of an already-seen version; genuine new content appears on just 8 dates.

Overview

This page tracks Meta’s consumer-facing Facebook Terms of Service across 78 scrapes spanning 2022-07-11 to 2025-11-07. It covers the core user-Content license grant (“The permissions you give us”), an AI/ML/augmented-reality disclosure framed around accessibility and abuse detection, the anti-scraping clause, the Terms-update boilerplate (“develop new features”), and a notably reversed-direction assignability clause. Only 28 unique snippets appear across the entire 1,087-record, 3+ year file — most of the 78 scrape dates are pure duplicates of an already-seen version; genuine new content appears on just 8 dates.

Key finding — AI/ML framing is narrower than X’s: unlike X_Terms_of_Service.md (which explicitly licenses user Content “for use with and training of our machine learning and artificial intelligence models”), Facebook’s ToS frames AI/ML use around accessibility and safety: “We use and develop advanced technologies — such as artificial intelligence, machine learning systems, and augmented reality — so that people can use our Products safely regardless of physical ability or geographic location… technology like this helps people who have visual impairments understand what or who is in photos or videos.” This wording has been present, unchanged in substance, since the 2022-07-11 baseline — the 2023-07-05 and 2025-02-24 “new snippets” under this tag are window-crop variants of the same paragraph, not rewrites.

Notable reversed-direction assignable clause: every other platform page in this wiki uses “(non-)assignable” to describe whether a user’s license to use the platform’s software can be transferred. Facebook’s ToS instead states Facebook’s own contractual rights are freely assignable by Facebook: “All of our contractual rights and obligations under these Terms are freely assignable by us in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law or otherwise.” This is the opposite usage from assignable.md’s established pattern and is documented separately rather than folded into that concept page’s existing narrative.

Flagged Keywords & Risks

• artificial intelligence, machine learning — See the accessibility/safety framing described above. Why it matters: this is a narrower, more user-protective framing than X’s training-on-Content clause — but it is also vaguer about scope (“advanced technologies” is not limited to the examples given), so it doesn’t rule out broader AI training happening under other Meta policies (see Facebook_Privacy_Policy.md for Meta’s actual AI-training-on-user-media disclosures).
• derivative works, create derivative, transferable — Tag the core Content license: “you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content… only for the purpose of making our Products available to you… You can end this license any time by deleting your content or account.” Why it matters: broad in scope (transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide) but narrower in purpose than X’s “for any purpose” grant, and — unlike X’s — terminable by the user at will via content/account deletion, with no AI-training language present in this document.
• assignable — See the reversed-direction finding above: this describes Facebook’s own contractual rights being assignable, not a restriction on the user’s software license. Why it matters: low risk to users directly, but don’t confuse it with the very different “non-assignable license to use the app” pattern seen on every other platform’s Terms of Service page in this wiki.
• automated means — “You may not access or collect data from our Products using automated means (without our prior permission) or attempt to access data you do not have permission to access.” Why it matters: a confirmed, genuine anti-scraping clause — broader and less structured than YouTube’s robots.txt-aware carve-out, with all discretion over exceptions held by Meta (“our prior permission”).
• develop new features — Standard Terms-update boilerplate: “We work constantly to improve our services and develop new features to make our Products better for you and our community. As a result, we may need to update these Terms from time to time…” Why it matters: low risk — this is a routine “we may change these Terms” clause, not a data-rights or AI clause, despite the keyword’s surface-level relevance to product development.
• generative AI — A short cross-reference added 2025-02-24: “[Generative AI products and features]: These terms govern use of our Generative AI products and features,” part of a list of supplementary terms applicable to different Meta products. Why it matters: this confirms Meta maintains a separate Generative AI terms document not currently tracked in this wiki’s source set — a gap worth flagging for future ingestion (sources/jsonl/ has no dedicated Facebook Generative AI file at this time).

Legal Context & Research Significance

Under Atkinson (2025), the automated means clause’s prohibition — “You may not access or collect data from our Products using automated means (without our prior permission)” — creates the kind of enforceable contract term her framework describes: a bot scraping Facebook’s pages, including this clause, has actual notice of the restriction, which is precisely the basis Atkinson uses to argue such prohibitions are legally enforceable regardless of robots.txt compliance. This clause falls under wearetosed’s “unilateral control” category insofar as Meta alone holds discretion over exceptions (“our prior permission”), and the reversed-direction assignable clause — where Facebook’s own contractual rights, not the user’s license, are freely assignable in a merger or sale — is a further instance of that same unilateral-control category. Soneji et al. (2025) found that roughly 53% of ToS;DR cases they surveyed favor the service provider; the develop new features boilerplate here, which lets Meta amend the Terms “from time to time” subject only to its own judgment of what is “no longer appropriate,” fits that provider-favoring pattern even though Meta frames it as routine housekeeping.

Version History

2022-07-11

• Explicit AI clause: YES
• Non-explicit predatory: YES
• Flagged keywords: artificial intelligence, machine learning, derivative works, create derivative, transferable, assignable, develop new features, automated means

Clause: artificial intelligence, machine learning

• Combat harmful conduct and protect and support our community: People will only build community on Meta Products if they feel safe. We employ dedicated teams around the world and develop advanced technical systems to detect misuse of our Products, harmful conduct towards others, and situations where we may be able to help support or protect our community. If we learn of content or conduct like this, we will take appropriate action - for example, offering help, removing content, blocking access to certain features, disabling an account, or contacting law enforcement. We share data with other Meta Companies when we detect misuse or harmful conduct by someone using one of our Products. * Use and develop advanced technologies to provide safe and functional services for everyone: We use and develop advanced technologies - such as artificial intelligence, machine learning systems, and augmented reality - so that people can use our Products safely regardless of physical ability or geographic location. For example, technology like this helps people who have visual impairments understand what or who is in photos or videos shared on Facebook or Instagram. We also build sophisticated network and communication technology to help more people connect to the internet in areas with limited access. And we develop automated systems to improve our ability to detect and remove abusive and dangerous activity that may harm our community and the integrity of our Products. * Research ways to make our services better: We engage in research to develop, test, and improve our Products.

Clause: derivative works, create derivative

• The permissions you give us We need certain permissions from you to provide our services: * Permission to use content you create and share: You own the content you create and share on Facebook and the other Meta Products you use, and nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have to your own content. You are free to share your content with anyone else, wherever you want. To provide our services, though, we need you to give us some legal permissions to use that content. Specifically, when you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights (like photos or videos) on or in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and application settings). This license is only for the purpose of making our Products available to you. This means, for example, that if you share a photo on Facebook, you give us permission to store, copy, and share it with others (again, consistent with your settings) such as service providers that support our service or other Meta Products you use. You can end this license any time by deleting your content or account. You should know that, for technical reasons, content you delete may persist for a limited period of time in backup copies (though it will not be visible to other users). In addition, content you delete may continue to appear if you have shared it with others and they have not deleted it.

Clause: derivative works, create derivative

You can only use our copyrights or trademarks (or any similar marks) as expressly permitted by our Brand Usage Guidelines or with our prior written permission. You must obtain our written permission (or permission under an open source license) to modify, create derivative works of, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract source code from us. 4. Additional provisions * Updating our Terms We work constantly to improve our services and develop new features to make our Products better for you and our community. As a result, we may need to update these Terms from time to time to accurately reflect our services and practices. We will only make any changes if the provisions are no longer appropriate or if they are incomplete, and only if the changes are reasonable for you in consideration of your interests. We will notify you (for example, by email or through our Products) at least 30 days before we make changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect, unless the changes are required by law. We will inform you about this 30 day period and its importance in our notification. Once any updated Terms are in effect, you will be bound by them if you continue to use our Products.

Clause: transferable

We also can remove or restrict access to your content, services or information if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate adverse legal or regulatory impacts to Facebook. * The permissions you give us We need certain permissions from you to provide our services: * Permission to use content you create and share: You own the content you create and share on Facebook and the other Meta Products you use, and nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have to your own content. You are free to share your content with anyone else, wherever you want. To provide our services, though, we need you to give us some legal permissions to use that content. Specifically, when you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights (like photos or videos) on or in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and application settings). This license is only for the purpose of making our Products available to you. This means, for example, that if you share a photo on Facebook, you give us permission to store, copy, and share it with others (again, consistent with your settings) such as service providers that support our service or other Meta Products you use. You can end this license any time by deleting your content or account. You should know that, for technical reasons, content you delete may persist for a limited period of time in backup copies (though it will not be visible to other users).

Clause: assignable

• These Terms do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights. All of our contractual rights and obligations under these Terms are freely assignable by us in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law or otherwise. * You should know that we may need to change the username for your account in certain circumstances (for example, if someone else claims the username and it appears unrelated to the name you use in everyday life).We will inform you in advance if we have to do this and explain why. * We always appreciate your feedback and other suggestions about our products and services. But you should know that we may use them without any restriction, and we are under no obligation to keep them confidential. 5. Other terms and policies that may apply to you * Community Standards: These guidelines outline our standards regarding the content you post to Facebook and your activity on Facebook and other Meta Products. * Commercial Terms: These terms apply if you also access or use our Products for any commercial or business purpose, including advertising, operating an app on our Platform, using our measurement services, managing a group or a Page for a business, or selling goods or services. * Advertising Policies: These policies specify what types of ad content are allowed by partners who advertise across the Meta Products.

Clause: develop new features

You must obtain our written permission (or permission under an open source license) to modify, create derivative works of, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract source code from us. 4. Additional provisions * Updating our Terms We work constantly to improve our services and develop new features to make our Products better for you and our community. As a result, we may need to update these Terms from time to time to accurately reflect our services and practices. We will only make any changes if the provisions are no longer appropriate or if they are incomplete, and only if the changes are reasonable for you in consideration of your interests. We will notify you (for example, by email or through our Products) at least 30 days before we make changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect, unless the changes are required by law. We will inform you about this 30 day period and its importance in our notification. Once any updated Terms are in effect, you will be bound by them if you continue to use our Products. We hope that you will continue using our Products, but if you do not agree to our updated Terms and no longer want to be a part of the Meta community, you can delete your account at any time.

Clause: automated means

• That infringes or breaches someone else’s rights, including their intellectual property rights. * You may not upload viruses or malicious code or do anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working or appearance of our Products. * You may not access or collect data from our Products using automated means (without our prior permission) or attempt to access data you do not have permission to access. We can remove or block content that is in breach of these provisions. If we remove content that you have shared for violation of our Community Standards we’ll let you know and explain any options you have to request another review, unless you seriously or repeatedly violate these Terms or if doing so may expose us or others to legal liability; harm our community of users; compromise or interfere with the integrity or operation of any of our services, systems or Products; where we are restricted due to technical limitations; or where we are prohibited from doing so for legal reasons. To help support our community, we encourage you to report content or conduct that you believe breaches your rights (including intellectual property rights) or our terms and policies. We also can remove or restrict access to your content, services or information if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate adverse legal or regulatory impacts to Facebook. * The permissions you give us We need certain permissions from you to provide our services: * Permission to use content you create and share: You own the content you create and share on Facebook and the other Meta Products you use, and nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have to your own content. You are free to share your content with anyone else, wherever you want.

Clause: transferable

To help support our community, we encourage you to report content or conduct that you believe breaches your rights (including intellectual property rights) or our terms and policies if this feature exists in your jurisdiction. * The permissions you give us We need certain permissions from you to provide our services: * Permission to use content you create and share: You retain ownership of the content that you create and share on Facebook and other Meta Company Products you use, and nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have to your own content. You are free to share your content with anyone else, wherever you want. To provide our services, though, we need you to give us some legal permissions to use that content. Specifically, when you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights (like photos or videos) on or in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and application settings). This license is only for the purpose of making our Products available to you. This means, for example, that if you share a photo on Facebook, you give us permission to store, copy, and share it with others (again, consistent with your settings) such as Meta Products or service providers that support those products and service you use. You can end this license any time by deleting your content or account. You can delete individual content you share, post, and upload at any time.

Clause: assignable

All of our contractual rights and obligations under these Terms are freely assignable by us in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law or otherwise. * We may change the username for your account in certain circumstances (for example, if someone else claims the username and it appears unrelated to the name you use in everyday life). * We always appreciate your feedback and other suggestions about our products and services. But we may use feedback and other suggestions without any restriction, and we are under no obligation to keep them confidential. * If the ownership or control of all or part of our Products or their assets changes, this could result in a transfer of your information to the new owner. 5. Other terms and policies that may apply to you * Community Standards: These guidelines outline our standards regarding the content you post to Facebook and your activity on Facebook and other Meta Products. * Commercial Terms: These terms apply if you also access or use our Products for any commercial or business purpose, including advertising, operating an app on our Platform, using our measurement services, managing a group or a Page for a business, or selling goods or services. * Community Payment Terms: These terms apply to payments made on or through Meta Products.

Clause: artificial intelligence, machine learning

• Our Products provide many ways to express yourself or communicate with friends, family, and others about what matters to you - for example, sharing status updates, photos, videos, and stories across the Meta Products (consistent with your settings), sending messages or making voice or video calls to a friend or several people, creating events or groups, or adding content to your profile as well as showing you insights on how others engage with your content. We have also developed, and continue to explore, new ways for people to use technology, such as augmented reality and 360 video to create and share more expressive and engaging content on Meta Products. We engage in research to develop, test and improve our Products. This includes analysing information that we have about our users, and understanding how people use our Products, for example by conducting surveys and testing and troubleshooting new features. We use and develop advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning systems and augmented reality so that people can use our Products safely regardless of physical ability or geographic location. For example, technology such as this helps people who have visual impairments understand what or who is in photos or videos shared on Facebook. We also build sophisticated network and communication technology to help more people connect to the Internet in areas with limited access. And we develop automated systems to improve our ability to protect our community and our Products.
