Incorporation by reference expands the operative terms governing the service beyond the Threads Terms of Use document itself. Users accept a multi-document framework where obligations and disclosures are distributed across separate policy instruments, requiring reference to multiple sources for complete understanding of the agreement.
The updated Terms of Use no longer include disclosures stating that conversations with AI systems may be used to train Meta AI models. References to separate Meta AI terms were also removed. The terms previously contained five sentences addressing AI training and data use that are no longer present.
View change record →The updated terms add explicit language requiring users to agree to Meta's AI terms as a condition of service use. The agreement now states that interactions with AI features will be used to improve AI systems at Meta. This establishes that continued use of Threads constitutes acceptance of Meta's separate AI terms, which are referenced but not fully detailed in the Terms of Use excerpt. Users should review Meta's AI terms to understand what specific AI features are covered and what data is collected from those interactions.
View change record →Users are bound by three distinct policy documents: the Instagram Terms of Use, the Threads supplemental terms, and the Privacy Policy. The substantive rights, obligations, and data practices applicable to Threads use are collectively defined across these documents rather than contained in a single instrument.
