ConductAtlas User-Protection Index
Insufficient coverage
Insufficient coverage to score
Only 1 of 6 governance dimensions are confidently known for Meta Ads — too few for a headline score. What we do have is shown below.
How is this scored? →

Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Meta Ads’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

Key Governance Provisions
High EU DSA Beneficiary Field Disclosure Requirement

Requiring the full legal name of the actual beneficiary creates an auditable disclosure trail identifying who is ultimately behind an ad.

High Policies Subject to Change Without Notice

Advertisers cannot rely on advance warning before policy changes take effect, meaning a previously compliant ad could become non-compliant without any notification.

High Meta Reserves Right to Reject or Remove Any Ad

Sole discretion over approval and removal means advertisers have no contractual guarantee that any ad will be accepted or remain live.

High Meta Advertising Data Use Limited to Aggregate Anonymous Basis

The prohibition covers nearly all individual-level data uses, including common advertising practices like retargeting, leaving only aggregate and anonymous analysis permissible.

High Meta Advertising Data Shared Only With Service Providers

Restricting Meta advertising data sharing to agents of the advertiser limits onward disclosure and prevents third-party monetization of that data.
