This clause defines the boundaries of permissible user conduct and establishes Meta's enforcement authority over content and user behavior. It anchors enforcement actions to specific categories of prohibited material and conduct standards enumerated across multiple governing documents.
The updated terms establish a jurisdictional change for consumers. Previously, all disputes had to be resolved in California courts; now, if you are a consumer or if your country requires it, disputes must be resolved in courts within your home country under your home country's laws. For Meta's own claims against you, the agreement still requires disputes to proceed exclusively in California courts. The revised terms also now require Meta to notify you at least 30 days in advance before making changes to these Terms, and you will have the opportunity to review them before they take effect, unless changes are required by law.
