Meta updated its Terms of Service on June 18, 2026 with primarily editorial and formatting changes. The vast majority of modifications involve British English spelling conventions (personalised instead of personalized, organisations instead of organizations), punctuation adjustments (removing commas before 'and' in lists), and minor grammatical rewording (e.g., 'that you want' instead of 'they want'). No material changes to Meta's authority, user obligations, data practices, advertising disclosures, or service scope were introduced.
