Highest Risk Categories

The highest-scoring risk categories identified in this assessment.

Legal Terms

Supplemental Meta Platforms Technologies Terms of Service mandates binding individual arbitration via AAA ICDR. Class actions and class arbitrations explicitly prohibited. Users waive right to jury trial. Liability caps apply. Multiple class action lawsuits (AI Glasses, biometric data) have been filed against Meta, indicating aggressive enforcement of arbitration clauses. Meta's $1.4B biometric data settlement highlights the scale of potential liability being shielded.

Training Use

Meta uses public posts, photos, comments, and reels to train AI models by default. Voice interactions with Meta AI stored up to 1 year for training. December 2025 policy update extended AI personalization to interactions with generative AI features. Opt-out available for EU users but not straightforward globally. Public content from adult users used without explicit consent. Cross-platform data (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp public interactions) feeds into AI pipelines.
