Meta Data Report Card
Practices
Readiness
Agent Readiness is a derived signal — a synthesis of two existing cells (Access, Portability) plus one sourced factor (API access), not an independently measured grade. API access scale: Best (2) consumer-grantable API · Moderate (1) partial / encumbered · Restrictive (0) manual export only. What is Agent Readiness?
§ This grade reflects a 4-point deduction (severity 2) for a verified regulatory action: 8/12 on data practices − 4 = 4/12 → D. The enforcement record is below.
Events
Breaches, policy changes, and export-format changes we’ve recorded at Meta — other parties’ actions, alongside the enforcement record above. An event never changes a grade by itself. All events →
Grade history
Every change to this company’s grade since it was first published, and why. All grade changes →
Score unchanged (1). The page no longer states the 10-30-minute delivery estimate the old rationale cited; completion now arrives by notification with no stated turnaround. The deciding fact remains the 4-day download window, joined by the password gate and possible additional verification.
Meta — Export a copy of your Facebook information ↗Score unchanged (2). Meta renamed the export tool from “Download Your Information” to “Export your information” in Meta Account settings and added scheduled export to a connected external service; the JSON machine-readable format and granular selection are still stated on the same page. The rationale now quotes the current wording.
Meta — Export a copy of your Facebook information ↗Held, not yet re-sourced. Under the two-lane rule this cell should rest on Meta's own published statements, but Meta documents the Brazilian AI-training opt-out only in-product — there is no Meta-published page to cite. Rather than silently keep a third-party citation or drop a real opt-out, the cell now carries a visible re-source-pending marker and keeps the Future of Privacy Forum's account of the ANPD case until a copy of Meta's own notice is captured. Score unchanged.
FPF — ANPD Meta case ↗Score unchanged. Re-sourced from the ICO's statement to Meta's own announcement, which states the “Legitimate Interests” basis, the always-available objection form, and the ICO engagement in Meta's own words. Grades rest on a company's own published statements; a regulator's publication belongs in the enforcement record, not behind a cell score.
Meta — Building AI Technology for the UK ↗Score unchanged. Re-sourced from noyb's challenge announcement to Meta's own announcement, which states the “legitimate interest” basis and an objection form users can submit at any time. An advocacy filing cannot bear a grade; the contested-legality clause was removed with it.
Meta — Making AI Work Harder for Europeans ↗Score unchanged. Re-sourced from press coverage to Meta's own generative-AI page, matching the US cell: the objection form Meta announced for the EU and UK is not offered in Canada. The advocacy-challenge clause was removed with the press citation.
Meta — Generative AI & your data ↗How to request your data from Meta
- Go to https://accountscenter.facebook.com/info_and_permissions/dyi/ — Meta's data-request entry point.
- Accounts Center → Your information and permissions → Export your information → Create export.
- Expected wait: varies (JSON or HTML) — Meta's stated turnaround (we haven't independently timed a request yet).
These steps reflect Meta's documented process as of Jun 2026. The wait time is the company's stated figure, not yet independently measured by us.
