Our Principles
Our principles are what we stand for. They are beliefs we hold deeply and make tradeoffs to pursue.
Give People a Voice
People deserve to be heard and to have a voice — even when that means defending the right of people we disagree with.
Build Connection and Community
Our services help people connect, and when they’re at their best, they bring people closer together.
Serve Everyone
We work to make technology accessible to everyone, and our business model is ads so our services can be free.
Keep People Safe and Protect Privacy
We have a responsibility to promote the best of what people can do together by keeping people safe and preventing harm.
Promote Economic Opportunity
Our tools level the playing field so businesses grow, create jobs and strengthen the economy.
