Proof that Facebook is not an IMB

[<3T&M<3 217]

I am supposed to get proof that Facebook is not an IMB, but I absolutely cannot find this information anywhere.

For those of you who met online, how did you supply this?

 

Thank you so much!

Most people locate the TOS of the website and attach it.

 I have printed out the main terms and conditions that Facebook lists. But nowhere in it doesn't mention IMB or marriage brokers of any kindBut I noticed there are at least half a dozen different sections of terms of different sorts. 

I just want to make sure I print all that I need to print and not 50 pages of garbage.

There is nothing in there about being a IMB because they are not.....  Not even remotely...

 

Personally I think it is a waste of time submitting the FB TOS because it is not a IMB...  True dating sites would be a different scenario

Yes. However, I was reading that even if it is not you have to prove that it is not. And I am wondering how I can prove it is not if it does not even say that it is not! Wow, say that 10 times fast!

Then get the definition of what is an IMB and then demonstrate how FB is not. 

 

Definition of an International Marriage Broker. “International marriage broker” is defined as an entity (whether or not U.S.-based) that charges fees for providing matchmaking services or social referrals between U.S. citizens/permanent residents and foreign nationals. The definition also exempts non-profit religious or cultural matchmaking services, and dating services that do not match U.S. citizens/residents with aliens as their principal business and that charge comparable rates and offer comparable services to all clients, regardless of gender or country of citizenship.

 

The definition of IMB, under Section 833(e)(4)(A), is any corporation, individual, or legal entity, whether or not existing under the laws of the U.S., who charges fees for providing dating, matrimonial, matchmaking or social referrals or is "otherwise faciliating communication between individuals."
