Meta Platforms, Inc.

Meta Platforms, Inc. is a U.S.-based technology company founded in 2004, operating some of the world’s largest social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads. It is one of the most influential digital advertising companies globally, generating billions in revenue through targeted data-driven marketing. Meta has repeatedly faced international criticism for its handling of privacy, surveillance, and content moderation, as well as its role in political polarization and hate speech amplification.

Investigations by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have documented Meta’s systemic censorship of Palestinian content and its contribution to violence in Myanmar against the Rohingya, raising questions of direct corporate complicity in human rights abuses.
