OUR MISSION

Build the future of human connection and the technology that makes it possible

Our principles

Meta is building technology that connects you to people, interests and experiences that matter to you. Our principles embody what we stand for and guide our approach to how we build.

People deserve to be heard and to have a voice — even when that means defending the rights of people we disagree with.

Our services help people connect, and when they’re at their best, they bring people closer together.

We work to make technology accessible to everyone, and our business model is ads so our services can be free.

We have a responsibility to promote the best of what people can do together by keeping people safe and preventing harm.

Our tools level the playing field so businesses grow, create jobs and strengthen the economy.
