Executive Summary

Facebook removed references to its United States Regional Privacy Notice from its main privacy policy. The removed sections included links and mentions of consumer privacy rights available to U.S. residents under regional laws. This appears to be a structural reorganization rather than a substantive change to actual privacy practices, as the regional notice likely still exists as a separate document.
