What this means for you

This change affects the language versions in which Meta's Commercial Terms are available. Users in regions where the newly supported languages (Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Polish, Portuguese, Italian) are primary will now be able to access the terms in their language. Users whose primary languages were removed (Arabic, Kurdish, Turkish, Persian, Swedish) will need to access the terms in an alternative language version. This is a localization update with no changes to the substantive rights or obligations stated in the terms themselves.

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
