Meta revised its terms of service to establish clearer standards for when it can modify the agreement, require 30 days' notice before changes take effect, and restructure its dispute resolution provisions. For consumers outside the US, the updated terms now permit disputes to be resolved in courts of the consumer's home country rather than exclusively in California. Meta also simplified its liability disclaimer by removing specific examples of excluded damages while preserving the cap on liability.

Consumers: If you are outside the US and have a dispute with Meta, you can sue in your home country's courts instead of being required to sue in California.
Consumers: Meta can only change its terms under specific circumstances and must consider your interests when doing so.
The updated terms establish that Meta will provide at least 30 days' notice before changes to the Terms take effect, giving users time to review modifications before they apply. For consumers outside the US, disputes with Meta will now be resolved in courts of the consumer's home country under that country's laws, rather than exclusively in California courts. US consumers and disputes Meta initiates against users remain subject to California jurisdiction and law. The terms also clarify that Meta may only modify the agreement if provisions are no longer appropriate, incomplete, or required for safety, security, or legal compliance, and only if changes are reasonable and account for user interests.
