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 — first-party
gateway.facebook.com is a Facebook-operated domain contacted by Facebook's own app, so this is first-party traffic to the app's own backend rather than a third-party tracker. The app's label already declares extensive first-party collection, so no data flow beyond the label is implied.
OpenAI — first-party
gateway.facebook.com is a Facebook-owned domain associated with the app's first-party service infrastructure. The label declares extensive collection and sharing categories, so this contact alone does not imply an undisclosed data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
gateway.facebook.com is a first-party domain owned and operated by Meta for the Facebook app's backend communications. Because it is a first-party endpoint and the app declares extensive data collection, this network contact does not appear undisclosed.
