Threads updated its Terms of Use on May 28, 2026 to revise how it discloses AI practices and user data usage. The updated terms remove navigation language about account information visibility and replace it with a direct statement that 'Your interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta.' Additionally, the terms now include a prominent notice stating 'By using this service, you agree to Meta's AI terms,' whereas the previous version directed users to agree to Meta Terms, AI terms, and Privacy Policy collectively.
The updated terms establish explicit disclosure that user interactions with AI systems will be used to improve Meta's AI at Meta. The terms now require users to affirmatively agree to Meta's AI terms as a condition of service use. Previously, the terms directed users to agree to Meta Terms, AI terms, and Privacy Policy as separate documents. The change consolidates the AI-specific consent requirement into a single statement presented during service use.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Threads modified its terms to explicitly disclose AI data usage and consolidate AI-specific consent requirements. The updated language states that user interactions with AI will be used to improve Meta's AI systems and requires agreement to Meta's AI terms as a condition of service. This change appears designed to clarify AI governance practices rather than substantively alter data use authority. Organizations using Threads should verify that their privacy impact assessments and vendor management processes account for this explicit AI training data disclosure, particularly in jurisdictions with emerging AI governance frameworks (e.g., EU AI Act). No immediate compliance action appears required for organizations with existing Meta vendor agreements that account for AI data processing.
