Impact Assessment for Indonesia

In 2018, Meta commissioned Article One Advisors to conduct an independent HRIA on the role of our services in Indonesia.

Meta took steps to improve corporate-level accountability, evolve our Community Standards and invest in changes to platform architecture.

The HRIA identified a range of positive impacts related to freedom of expression, association and opinion; economic and cultural rights; political participation; and support for vulnerable communities. Article One also identified a number of salient risks and adverse impacts, including those associated with mis/disinformation, government restrictions to freedom of expression, bullying and harassment, privacy, child sexual exploitation and gender-based attacks.

In response to the HRIA’s 37 recommendations, Meta took steps to improve corporate-level accountability, evolve our Community Standards, invest in changes to platform architecture, address challenges to platform-level grievance mechanisms, conduct ongoing due diligence, increase transparency and use leverage to address root cause challenges.
