 * Yes, but this is a trademarked symbol. Look closer at the comments in File:2021 Facebook icon.svg, specifically the original submission. It was copied from a facebook page and then modified. The license is listed as public domain because of poor image quality.


 * I believe the modifications violate the license requirements as listed in the Meta License (do not modify the file). The file I uploaded is directly from Meta and used in accordance with their guidelines. --LadyGeek 17:05, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Commons:Reusing content outside Wikimedia would seem to be a good resource on the matter. --Peculiar Investor 18:01, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
 * You may be correct, but I would also prefer to download from the original (authoritative, credible) source if one is available. --LadyGeek 19:27, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
