Organization profile
Meta Platforms, Inc. provides a reviewed view of exact-name federal lobbying disclosures involving technology, communications, science, trade, tax, and related issues. Filings that combine Meta with subsidiaries or use former-name wording are not automatically included in activity totals.

This profile includes the two reviewed punctuation variants of Meta Platforms, Inc. Former-name or combined-subsidiary strings remain evidence about naming only and are excluded from activity totals.
Facebook, Inc. — source record name: META PLATFORMS, INC. (FORMERLY FACEBOOK, INC. AND VARIOUS SUBSIDIARIES)
This former-name evidence does not add filings for subsidiaries, affiliates, political committees, or a standalone Facebook client name to Meta totals.

Calculated from selected records
These concise statements come before the filing list so the scope and main record patterns are visible without opening every disclosure.
These observations are reproducible counts, not rankings or claims about importance, motive, access, effectiveness, or policy outcomes.
A lobbying disclosure reports activity under federal disclosure law. It does not show that the activity achieved a policy result.
Self-reported expenses and income reported by outside registrants have different reporting bases. They are displayed in separate tables and never added into one total.
| Reporting quarter | Measure | Value or state | Input states |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 Q1 | Self-reported expenses | No applicable records | 15 filings; 0 numeric; 15 other-measure; 0 unavailable |
| 2026 Q2 | Self-reported expenses | No applicable records | 15 filings; 0 numeric; 15 other-measure; 0 unavailable |
For each quarter, sum only retained filings' self-reported expense fields. A blank expense field is excluded from this series when the same filing establishes an outside-income reporting basis. Keep zero and every unavailable state visible; never add outside-registrant income. Reviewed 2026-09-04.

Search retained source descriptions case-insensitively for the exact phrase 'artificial intelligence' or the standalone abbreviation 'AI', and for 'privacy', 'personal data', or 'data protection'. Separately count filings carrying CPI, SCI, or TEC codes.
This literal-language check distinguishes explicit source wording from broad LDA categories. It does not infer that other technology-coded descriptions concern AI or privacy, and it does not classify a position on any issue.
Use canonical filings only; group exact source descriptions by reviewed issue code, sort codes and filings deterministically, select one description per code before selecting a second from any code, and preserve the source text exactly.
