UPDATE on Monday, August 31: The updated Statement of Rights and Responsibilities is now live in five languages. You can find the English version here and stay informed about future updates here.

UPDATE on Wednesday, August 12: Based on requests we've received, you can now view and download a redlined version of the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities that reflects all of the proposed changes here. Remember to post your comments and feedback before 10:00 a.m. PDT on August 18.


Today, we are proposing some updates to the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (SRR), which governs our relationship with users and others who interact with us and replaced our Terms of Use earlier this year. Occasionally, we need to make updates to the SRR in order to account for new features and policies or just to make things more clear. As members of the Facebook community, we want you to be involved in the site's governance. That's why we're committed to giving you the opportunity to review and comment on changes before they go into effect.

The proposed SRR we're announcing today mostly includes clarifying changes and minor updates. We encourage you to read the revised SRR in its entirety on the Facebook Site Governance Page, where you can review the changes and give us your comments. Please take a look and provide your feedback before 10:00 a.m. PDT on August 18.

While we're announcing today's proposed changes on the Facebook blog, the best way to ensure that you continue to receive updates on future site governance changes is to become a fan of the Site Governance Page.


Adam, an associate on the public policy team, is awaiting your comments.
