- Which entities are responsible for Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp in each selected market?
- How does Meta describe the boundaries between Family of Apps and Reality Labs?
- What public documentation explains advertising data controls and user appeals for each platform?

The initial record establishes identity and research scope. Findings and numerical ratings require an approved method, sufficient evidence and review. Research questions are not conclusions about this institution.
Research boundaries.
This profile maps corporate identity and the initial research agenda. The next stage examines independent sources, comparable reporting periods and stakeholder evidence.
Source coverage is not a score of institutional quality. Public records do not establish every internal process or represent every stakeholder. Comparisons require matching periods and sector context.
