7. Freedom of association and assembly
The right to freedom of association and assembly is essential to democracy and interdependent with many
other rights guaranteed under international human rights law, including the right to freedom of expression and
to take part in the conduct of public affairs. For Meta, this right relates to our core values of giving people a
voice and building connection and community.
Examples of potential inherent salient
human rights risks identified in CSRA
Certain types of content on Meta platforms may
lead some people to feel unable to freely connect
on Meta apps or offline.
Examples of how Meta addressed
the potential risks in 2025
We deployed our Crisis Policy Protocol to help
resource our efforts to address violating content
regarding mass demonstrations, including “Gen Z
protests,” for example in Iran, Madagascar, Nepal
and Serbia.
8. Right to health
The right to health is the right of everyone to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health.
Meta respects this right by increasing access to health information, enabling people with similar health issues to
connect with one another, and empowering people to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
Examples of potential inherent salient
human rights risks identified in CSRA
Policy-violating content that incites or is intended
to cause offline harm
Examples of how Meta addressed
the potential risks in 2025
We announced protections for teens in our AI
offerings, including designing them to respond
safely to prompts about self-harm, suicide and
disordered eating. We also announced new
controls including launching insights to parents
about topics their teens are chatting with AI about.
In the U.S., we further sought to increase our
efforts to address online bullying in schools by
giving teachers, educators and administrators a
prioritized system for reporting instances of teen
safety issues.
