Oversight Board
Our Corporate Human Rights Policy supports our
proactive engagement with stakeholders. In 2025,
we engaged with a diverse range of human rights
groups, vulnerable communities, civil society members,
academics, think tanks and regulators. Key topics
included Meta’s approach to AI and content moderation,
the impact of our January policy and product changes,
and our efforts to combat fraud and scams.
We also provide an update on the work of the Oversight
Board. The Oversight Board is an independent
body that provides binding rulings and non-binding
recommendations. During the reporting period, the
Oversight Board considered cases concerning our efforts
to respect human rights, including freedom of expression,
the rights and interests of young people, and the right to
equality and non-discrimination, among other topics.
We continued to engage our Trusted Partners
around the world to help identify trends, and better
understand the impact of online content and behavior
on local communities. They provided insights and
identified potentially violating content in more than
20 countries and regions.
As an illustrative example, in response to a
recommendation, Meta increased the granularity
of existing notifications — providing more detailed
notice to users when their content is restricted in
response to a formal government report stating the
content violates local laws.

Managing government requests
Throughout 2025, we continued to be guided by our commitment to the Global Network Initiative to
respect freedom of expression and privacy, including when responding to government requests to restrict
content. Such government requests have been increasing. In addition to our regular integrity reporting,
we published case studies related to government requests to restrict political speech in Austria, Colombia,
Côte d’Ivoire, Germany, India, Iraq, Italy, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Poland, Romania, Singapore,
South Africa, Tanzania, Türkiye and Vietnam. In 2025, Meta also underwent its fourth GNI assessment
(covering April 2022–December 2024). The GNI Board unanimously determined that Meta had made
“good faith efforts to implement the GNI Principles, with improvement over time.”
