Facebook is asking users whether they think it is "good for the world" in a poll sent to an unspecified number of people.
The latest poll appears under the heading "We'd like to do better" when users log in.
Possible responses range from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree".
Facebook regularly polls users on its service. The latest comes as the company grapples with a privacy scandal and other troubles.
