Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote clearly opposes permissionless interoperability: it repeatedly requires 'written permission' for developers using Facebook’s platform and specifically forbids exporting user data to competing services without permission. That indicates opposition to granting developers a right to interoperate with large platforms without permission. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 16d ago

AI Verified The quote repeatedly requires "written permission" and says developers "may not" use the platform to export data or include data in search tools "without our permission," which clearly opposes a right to interoperate without permission. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 16d ago

AI Verified The SEC exhibit titled "Facebook Platform Policy" contains the quoted sentences verbatim, with the user's [...] marking omitted intervening text: the opening sentence appears at line 6, the "replicates a core Facebook product or service" sentence at line 66, and the "search engine or directory" sentence at line 69. The same exhibit states "Date of Last Revision: August 20, 2013" at line 10, supporting the stored date, source URL, and attribution to Facebook. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1580732/000119312514056089/d564433dex1012.htm)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 16d ago
Disputed The quoted wording is present verbatim in the SEC-hosted source, with the omissions represented by [...]: the opening sentence appears at lines 4-6, the 'replicates a core Facebook product or service' sentence at lines 65-66, and the 'search engine or directory' sentence at line 69. However, the 2013 document is titled 'Facebook Platform Policy' and is dated August 20, 2013; Meta was introduced as the new company brand only in 2021. So the text is real, but attributing this 2013 policy quote to 'Meta' is not strictly correct. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1580732/000119312514056089/d564433dex1012.htm)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago
AI Unverifiable Source URL (sec.gov archive of Facebook Platform Policies, exhibit 10.12) returns HTTP 403 from WebFetch. Web search confirms the policy text exists with this exact wording: developers using Social Plugins or Facebook SDKs must follow Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, may not use Platform 'to promote, or to export user data to, a product or service that replicates a core Facebook product or service without our permission,' and may not include data obtained from Facebook in any search engine or directory without written permission. Vote (Against 'Grant developers the right to interoperate with large platforms without permission') aligns with Meta/Facebook's permission-required developer policy. Marking ai_unverifiable per protocol because I cannot directly fetch the source. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
