Policy Rationale
Meta responds to requests for account removal in accordance with applicable law and our terms of service. Each and every request we receive is carefully reviewed and may reject or require additional clarification for certain requests.
We comply with requests for removal of:
  • Accounts when requested by the account owner
  • Accounts belonging to an incapacitated individual when requested by an authorized representative with Proof of Authority and medical documentation confirming incapacitation

Note: We’re always improving, so what you see here may be slightly outdated compared to what we currently use.
