Meta

You are agreeing to a broad, transferable, and sublicensable license for all your uploaded content.

“you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content”

What that means: You lose exclusive control over your content, and third parties could potentially use it through sublicenses.

The license is sub-licensable and transferable, meaning Meta can share your rights with other companies, which goes beyond basic service operation.

You are agreeing to a broad waiver of liability and damages against Meta.

“our liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law... under no circumstance will we be liable to you for any lost profits... or consequential, special, indirect, exemplary, punitive, or incidental damages”

What that means: You cannot sue for damages even if Meta’s negligence causes significant harm or data loss.

The terms waive almost all liability for Meta, including negligence, leaving the user with no recourse for many types of loss.

You are agreeing to be bound by updated terms as long as you keep using the service.

“Once any updated Terms are in effect, you will be bound by them if you continue to access or use our Products.”

What that means: You are bound by new terms simply by keeping your account active.

Changes become binding upon continued use without requiring explicit renewed consent for every update.

You are agreeing to a delayed deletion process that affects backup systems.

“After the content is deleted, it may take us up to another 90 days to remove it from backups and disaster recovery systems.”

What that means: Your data remains recoverable in backups for weeks after you request deletion.

Deletion is delayed due to technical processes and backup systems, meaning data persists longer than users might expect.
