This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed
We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — cdn
fbcdn.net is Meta's own content-delivery domain (here an 'external' image-proxy node), so for the Facebook app this is first-party CDN infrastructure serving media rather than a third-party tracker. Content delivery for the app's own media is consistent with the app's extensive declared collection, so nothing here implies an undeclared data flow.
OpenAI — cdn
The fbcdn.net hostname appears to be a Facebook content-delivery domain, though no owner is provided in the record. A CDN contact alone does not establish a data flow beyond Facebook's extensive declared collection and sharing.
Google Gemini — cdn
The domain fbcdn.net is Meta's official content delivery network used to host and serve media assets for the Facebook app. As first-party CDN infrastructure, its use for content delivery does not indicate an undisclosed third-party data flow.
