Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities - we're just getting started.

At Facebook, we have a responsibility to everyone who uses our services to amplify the good and mitigate the harm - to make sure that people are safe on Facebook, and their information is protected. Many of these questions aren't new, but new products and technologies raise new issues that Facebook takes very seriously.
