Meta has developed a system called Policy Zones as part of its Privacy Aware Infrastructure (PAI) to enforce purpose limitations on data usage. This initiative is particularly significant for large-scale batch processing systems, where managing data responsibly is crucial. Policy Zones integrates with Meta’s extensive data warehouse and processing systems, utilizing runtime enforcement and SQL parsing to ensure compliance with data usage policies.
