We care.

Built to bring you closer.

Share what matters. We'll make sure you see more of it.

Our commitments

What we stand for

Six commitments. Updated as needed.

01 Privacy

Privacy is at the core of everything we build. You control your information. You decide who sees it. We give you the tools.

Cambridge Analytica had tens of millions of those copies. The FTC billed $5 billion, a record. In 2025 Zuckerberg settled an $8 billion shareholder case rather than take the stand. The graph clocked in the next morning.

02 Teen safety

Teen Accounts give young people a safer, more private experience. Private by default. Sensitive content restricted. Parents in control.

In related news

Testers pressed the buttons. Seventeen percent worked as advertised. Sixty-four percent did not, or had been uninstalled. A 2026 jury found the design itself had done harm. The kitchen commercial was not entered into evidence.

03 Integrity

We are committed to giving people a voice and keeping our platforms a place for authentic conversation. We partner. We label. We take this seriously.

In related news

In January 2025 the U.S. fact-checkers were let go. Community Notes would handle the truth, the way a group chat handles a rumor. The ranking did not receive a note.

04 The future

The next computing platform will let people feel present together. We renamed the company for it. We are investing for the long term.

In related news

Reality Labs lost $19 billion in 2025. It lost $4.6 billion more in one quarter of 2026. Instagram wrote the check. The future is a write-down with a strap.

05 Accountability

We work constructively with regulators around the world. We update our policies. We pay our fines. We believe in a well-regulated internet.

In related news

Europe has billed the company for shipping data, for 'pay or consent,' for competition. The $5 billion FTC order was called a lesson. It was priced in. A fine is a line item. A law is a product problem.

06 Community

Community Standards keep billions of people safe. There is a policy, a reviewer, an appeal, and a page that explains the decision.

In related news

The ranking prefers whatever you cannot look away from. Whistleblowers said the company knew. The company shipped. The PDF is in the help center. The product is the ranking.

2026 Care Report

2026 in numbers

From filings, earnings, and tests of the tools we shipped.

$5B

FTC privacy penalty. Record, 2019.

Facebook had already promised, in 2012, that people controlled their data. Cambridge Analytica suggested otherwise. The ranking opened as usual the next day.

FTC, Jul 2019

$19B

Reality Labs, lost in 2025.

Plus $4.6 billion in one quarter of 2026. Presence takes time, the company said. The Family of Apps wrote the check. The Family of Apps is the feed.

Meta earnings, 2026

17%

Teen safety tools that worked as sold.

Fairplay and four partners read the list, then pressed the buttons. Two-thirds did nothing, or were gone. The commercial was current.

Fairplay, Sep 2025

2025

U.S. fact-checking, discontinued.

Eight years of third-party journalists. Replaced with Community Notes. Too much censorship, the founder said. The ranking did not get quieter.

Meta, Jan 2025

The record

Our work, over time

Statements we made. What followed.

  1. 2003

    A social utility

    Official

    A Harvard directory. People hand over emails, photos, addresses.

    Meanwhile

    The IMs surfaced later. They “trust me.” Dumb f***s. He has said he regrets the wording. The business kept the sentence.

  2. 2012–14

    The family grows

    Official

    Instagram and WhatsApp join the family so people can express themselves and message privately.

    Meanwhile

    Two products that might have been competition, priced in. A decade later the FTC tried to unwind the family. The family declined.

  3. 2018

    A breach of trust

    Official

    Cambridge Analytica was a breach of trust. We didn't do enough. We will do better.

    Meanwhile

    Tens of millions of profiles. A 2012 privacy order, already broken. The apology toured. The next year the FTC billed $5 billion. The ads kept running.

  4. 2021

    A new name

    Official

    We want to be a force for good. We don't have data that Instagram is harmful. We are a metaverse company now.

    Meanwhile

    Frances Haugen's files: about one in three teen girls said Instagram made body image worse. Engagement won. The name change did not change the ranking.

  5. 2024–25

    Peace of mind

    Official

    Teen Accounts. Private by default. Then PG-13. We heard parents. We care.

    Meanwhile

    Testers: 17 percent of the tools work. January 2025: U.S. fact-checking is retired. Two kinds of caring. Same fiscal year.

  6. 2026

    The work continues

    Official

    New teen-feed limits. Expanding our safety effort. Reality Labs is the future.

    Meanwhile

    A jury found Meta liable for harming a young woman with the design of the platforms. Reality Labs lost another $4.6 billion in a quarter. The ads still say we care.

The campaign

We care.

The 2026 campaign. Privacy. The future. Accountability.

Campaign 01 · Privacy

Your information is yours.

Control it in Settings. We built the tools.

The FTC kept the receipt.

Campaign 02 · The future

The next computing platform is almost here.

Presence takes time. We are investing for the long term.

Reality Labs: −$19B.

Campaign 03 · Accountability

We take this very seriously.

We have updated our policies. We have updated the help center.

Next question.
