5. How we identify and address salient human rights risks (cont.) (cont.) encourages suicide, self-injury, eating disorders, or bullying and harassment. We remove such content when we find it and continue to improve the technology used to detect and remove it. Sexual exploitation or abuse of children The child protection section in our Safety Center highlights our comprehensive approach to child safety, which includes policies prohibiting child exploitation and cutting-edge technology to prevent, detect, remove, and report policy violations. We’ve built over 30 tools to support children, teens, and their parents, including, on Instagram, supervision tools in our Family Center that help parents and their children navigate their time online together. We use sophisticated detection technology across Facebook and Instagram aimed at detecting, removing, and preventing the sharing of images and videos that exploit children. We report apparent instances of child exploitation appearing on our sites to the NCMEC and agencies around the world. In 2022, we supported NCMEC on the development of the Take It Down Platform for minors who are worried about their intimate images being shared on online platforms and apps. Public Participation, to Vote, and to Be Elected The Right to Public Participation, to Vote, and to Be Elected in free and fair elections is a cornerstone of democracy. It is also crucial to the rule of law, social inclusion, economic development, and the advancement of all human rights. Protecting the integrity of elections on our services and apps is one of our highest priorities. Meta invests significant effort and resources to protect elections online before, during, and after election periods. We aim to give people a voice and help them participate in the civic process while combating hate speech, interference, and foreign influence. Human rights report 26

Abstract: This is Meta’s second annual Human Rights Report, covering the calendar year 2022. It demonstrates how we are living up to the commitments made in our Corporate Human Rights Policy, which is based on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). The report shows how we are building on our work to respect human rights, how we assess potential impacts that could be linked to our services, and what we are doing to mitigate these risks.

Over the years, Meta’s services and apps have helped grassroots movements grow rapidly, challenge orthodoxies, advocate for rights, and in doing so, change the world. 2022 was no exception. As new challenges emerge, our human rights work evolves to address such issues as the use of our services in countries in conflict, threats to an open internet, and the rise of artificial intelligence.

We have strengthened our governance systems to advance our work toward respecting human rights across all our products and services. This includes continuing to empower the Oversight Board, which published 12 content moderation decisions and made 91 recommendations in 2022. Our efforts to strengthen governance also include training our employees. During the year, we launched human rights training titled Bigger than Meta: Human Rights company-wide.

In 2022, Meta passed its Global Network Initiative assessment, which included an examination of our policies and processes as well as eight specific illustrative case studies involving government takedown requests and data requests.

Human rights due diligence is central to our Corporate Human Rights Policy. In this report, we disclose key findings from our Comprehensive Human Rights Salient Risk Assessment (CSRA) and provide an update on our implementation of the recommendations borne of the due diligence work.

In 2022, we conducted the CSRA in partnership with Business for Social Responsibility (BSR), an independent organization with expertise in human rights. The analysis identified eight potential salient risks as highest priority, based on UNGP criteria. These were 1.) Freedom of Opinion and Expression; 2.) Privacy; 3.) Equality and Non-Discrimination; 4.) Life, Liberty, and Security of Person; 5.) Best Interests of the Child; 6.) Public Participation, to Vote, and to Be Elected; 7.) Freedom of Association and Assembly; and 8.) Right to Health. The assessment found that the potential risks relating to how Meta delivers our services and profit models are varied and nuanced.
