Meta

You are agreeing to let Meta give permission to other companies to use your posted 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: Other companies may use your content without paying you or asking again.

The terms allow Meta to sublicense your content to other companies, meaning third parties could potentially use your photos or videos under their own agreements.

You are agreeing that Meta is not responsible for injuries or issues caused by other users' content.

“We do not control or direct what people and others do or say... we are not responsible for their actions or conduct... including offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful, and other objectionable content.”

What that means: If you encounter harmful content or scams, Meta states they are not liable for damages resulting from it.

Meta explicitly disclaims responsibility for harmful or illegal content posted by other users on their platform.

You are agreeing to wait up to 90 days after initial deletion for complete removal from backups.

“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 stays accessible behind the scenes long after you ask for it to be gone.

Even after you delete your account, your data remains accessible in backup systems for two months, making true erasure difficult to verify.

You are agreeing not to provide access to anyone under the age of 13.

“You cannot use Facebook if: You are under 13 years old.”

What that means: Children under 13 are not allowed, but the service is built for an adult audience with no parental gate for younger kids.

The document explicitly prohibits children under 13 from using the service, but confirms they collect data from those who violate this rule if present.
