Metaverse
The metaverse is the next evolution in social connection and the successor to the mobile internet.
Like the internet, the metaverse will help you connect with people when you aren’t physically in the same place and get us even closer to that feeling of being together in person.
Building a more inclusive future
See how we’re helping more people around the globe feel seen and heard. We’re building community through the magic of innovation.
In earnest: a roundtable discussion
Privacy and responsible innovation in augmented and virtual reality requires open and honest conversations. We listen to feedback from people of various backgrounds and thought perspectives and push our products to meet the highest standards. Watch highlights from a recent discussion between Meta, industry experts and privacy-conscious consumers.
Never surprise people
Be explicit and transparent about how our products work and the data they collect and share. We choose models that people will understand and proactively communicate both clearly and candidly, so people can make informed decisions about whether and how to use our products. We also articulate best practices for responsible use and behavior when using our products.
Provide controls that matter
Augmented reality and immersive technologies blend the virtual and physical worlds, presenting opportunities to establish new digital and physical norms and set appropriate boundaries. We provide people with meaningful controls - where and when they matter - that give them agency over their experience and how they use our products. These controls are based on research, not assumptions, and consider context and sensitivity. We won’t offer controls for everything, but people should always have enough information to make an informed choice about whether to use our products.

Get started with account management and supervision tools

Put people first
Creating business value allows us to deliver value back to people, but on balance we believe over the long term business value stems from putting people first. This is especially true for our approach to data and protecting user privacy. We treat consumer data with the sensitivity it deserves and invest in novel privacy-preserving techniques for data sharing and analysis. When forced to balance between benefit to an individual and benefit to a community we aim to prioritize what provides the most value for the community.
