This provision establishes a notification obligation for material policy changes and frames continued product use after notification as an implicit acceptance mechanism, which is a standard practice in consumer-facing terms but one that may require evaluation against applicable law requiring affirmative consent for certain changes.
The updated Privacy Policy no longer explicitly directs US residents to the United States Regional Privacy Notice, which previously provided details about consumer privacy rights available under state laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act and similar regulations. This removal does not eliminate those rights themselves, but it makes the Privacy Policy less clear about where consumers can find information on how to exercise those rights. Consumers can still locate the Regional Privacy Notice through Meta's website or by searching for it directly, but the removal reduces the accessibility and prominence of that guidance within the primary policy document.
