Meta terminology

EMEA

Europe, the Middle East and Africa

The standard business-region grouping - Europe, the Middle East and Africa - used for Meta teams and operations covering that territory. In the archive it most often denotes the European policy and comms function: an Instagram Teens status update describes the "EMEA team" as "aggressively addressing questions about the age of consent for social media in European member states" after the EU set a parental-consent age, with 2017 to be spent lobbying member states to choose 13.
