I feel like the leak and critique is about why IG didnt do anything if they know we have negative impact on teen girls. But the focus internally is on the finding itself (that we have an impact). Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 14:12:23 PDT): >Like is it really hard for Adam to be like, we try to prioritize what we can, and elections and equity took priority over this issue? And then maybe revisit his priorities in light of this? Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 14:17:19 PDT): >Yeah totally. We're getting super hung up on whether IG causes these experiences, but what we definitely know is that teens have these experiences *on* IG, and that's typically enough to justify/prioritize work (eg nobody had to spend time arguing about whether IG causes more bullying, we just noted that users experience and see a ton of bullying on IG and we can so something about that). Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 14:18:16 PDT): >I understand why they have to defend against the causal claim externally, but internally why is it so hard to take responsibility for shitty experiences that users have on the platform that we absolutely could do more to limit? Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 14:21:27 PDT): >yeah its a bit odd. Like I doubt anyone would say IG 'caused' or 'created' social comparison because thats existed for ages. Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 14:21:51 PDT): >But we have a responsibility to act on things even if we didnt cause them. Why else do we work on equity of elections? Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 14:22:28 PDT): >idk if they see it this way. Like idk if Adam is like: oh yeah, why DIDNT I prioritize this. He thinks the langauge and the claim in the leak is the problem Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 14:26:22 PDT): >Oh yeah totally. I think their perception is that the worst thing here is the leak itself, followed by the language/mischaracterization of the article, followed by the actual problem facing humans and the fact that we haven't devoted enough resources to it. Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 14:40:09 PDT): >I asked Curtiss whether anyone on DSS did a weighted version of the analysis, and if so whether we could see it. Not sure if that's an appropriate ask, but I'm honestly kind of curious about how much that would change the results / conclusions. Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 14:40:34 PDT): >Like did we end up making the wrong decisions because we didn't weight, or is it just shifting numbers around?

Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 14:44:20 PDT): >It feels kind of weird to dwell on the weighting on every slide's annotation. Like sure it's true that it's not weighted, but people stop listening when you say the same thing over and over Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 14:44:29 PDT): >maybe numbers will be higher for some things (like presumably more disengaged people either are facing acute issues or IG is making it worse for them and we were not really able to capture their experience as well Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 14:44:39 PDT): >yeah Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 14:44:46 PDT): >I mean this whole thing feels defensive Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 14:45:21 PDT): >Ultimately it might just seem like we are trying to devalue our internal work when the finding or the rigor behind it was never the controversial piece Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 14:45:55 PDT): >Like they arent mad that 1 in 3 girls think we make BI worse. They are mad we 'hid' it and they think that because we didnt do anything + publicly said the effects are mixed. Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 14:46:24 PDT): >Yeah I think the thing that's weird is that it feels like it's defending by saying "we can't take anything away from this" rather than something stronger like "the actual number is less bad" Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 14:46:30 PDT): >and the last statement was about overall well-being (social comparison and BI are just a few things that impact that). So just saying that would be sufficient right? Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 14:47:51 PDT): >Right, totally. But I don't think FB will actually make that clarification because they are literally still using that defense of saying the impact on WB is mixed Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 14:49:40 PDT): >Like they always distract from specific problems by trying to focus on positive/neutral overall net impact (eg pushing voter registration instead of being upfront about misinfo, which is what people actually want us to solve) Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 14:49:42 PDT): >haha i didnt realize there were errors in the slide.

Isnt it enough to say these are exploratory studies and in order to determine relationship between wellbeing and social media you need toi do experiments Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 14:59:19 PDT): >like no wonder they keep saying this is not a reflection of how valued you are. This, in addition to all the editing and scrutiny of our current and future work is not making me feel very valued or trusted.

The headlines and sub-headlines are calling out findings we should pay attention to Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 15:04:58 PDT): >I think it's because there's an ambiguity in what the "worse" is comparing to. Like does it mean more people said PU makes it worse compared to other problems, or more people said PU makes it worse compared to makes it better. Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 15:09:50 PDT): >The annotation also keeps repeating that these are user perceptions, but like... that really only matters for the makes it better/worse slide. The rest of the time, people's perception is literally ground truth because we're asking about personal experiences / feelings. Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 15:25:42 PDT): >Hmmmm I wonder if part of the reason to make it seem like you can't draw any conclusions from the data is because people will invariably try to read negative things into it (even where there's nothing actually bad), so it's better to basically be like the data means nothing? Eg some person who wants to make it look bad will be like "49% of IG users have anxiety but only X% of the general population does so IG must be bad" and so it's better to undermine confidence in the whole thing?

But they are just disqualifying everything they can in the research in case someone takes some finding and makes a big deal about it Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 15:49:49 PDT): >I mean they are even trying to disqualify the qual work haha Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 15:50:22 PDT): >Yeah I think they're basically trying to discredit the work so much that it's like it didn't get leaked at all Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 15:50:54 PDT): >To stop cherry picking, etc Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 15:51:08 PDT): >And they are probably also trying to fight this on all fronts Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 15:52:39 PDT): >yeah Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 15:52:49 PDT): >Like saying, we didn't really know anything, and also we didn't fail to act because we did build things, and also we didn't like Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 15:52:52 PDT): >Lie Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 15:53:13 PDT): >given how much they are telling us we should not take this personally my guess is they dont have much control on this. But its actually really messed up if thats the case. Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 15:53:42 PDT): >Like DSS and etc probably dont have much control over this. Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 15:53:52 PDT): >Its just so messed up. Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 15:53:55 PDT): >... do you think this is something I can ask Kristin?

If you are worried I can ask her too. So she can get mad at both of us instead of one XD Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 15:55:52 PDT): >They keep saying leaks lower morale... no, Adam the choices you guys make lowers morale Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 15:56:59 PDT): >On one hand we have Miki and literally forcing the product team to make stupid decisions (teens dont want meditation, show lava lamps; or you cant have the break without it being opt in first). On the other hand we get discredited for doing the best work we could. Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 15:57:20 PDT): >They (or ) are responsible for the Take a Break being opt in btw.

I want to assume good intent of and dont want to find out I am wrong. Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 16:01:26 PDT): >Yeah I think they have good intent and Kristin. But I honestly Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 16:03:26 PDT): >It's easier for me to believe that for research people than for product/ other leads though Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 16:04:01 PDT): >hahaha true. Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 16:05:53 PDT): >I guess I am more cynical. I trust etc. But I also feel like they are being asked to check in and assure us maybe so we dont go and join the leaker or something. XD. I am sure thats not what Kristin or might have been told. I hope I am just being too cynical. Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 16:07:32 PDT): >man reading this annotated deck after hearing them out feels like someone slapped you hard then gave you a candy saying they have no hard feelings XD Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 16:08:56 PDT): >Yeah totally, I feel like I know understand why they felt they needed to have that meeting with all of them there Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 16:09:11 PDT): >Rather than sending an email like they did over the weekend Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 16:24:12 PDT): >yeah. Initially I was like: I dont understand. But I read through that deck and I was like..oh Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 16:24:47 PDT): >I mean its also ironic that they keep splitting hairs on semantics and causal language but keep saying something is myopic or misaligned. Like those words are so broad, what do you mean? Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 16:33:48 PDT): >Yeah I feel like there are basically three buckets of comments: 1) pointing out this mistake before others do, 2) things are not as bad as the slide makes it seem, 3) you can't believe anything in this research. The first two seem understandable to me, the third does not. Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 16:34:29 PDT): >yeah. Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 16:34:45 PDT): >its going a bit too far and I am not sure why Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 16:35:04 PDT): >Btw is the other deck that they're releasing yours as well (w Wendy)? Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 16:35:55 PDT): >it also makes FB look bad, like FB is devaluaing its own work and ppl to protect its ass. I read as much on verge when Pratiti wrote her blog post.

Shilpa Mody (9/29/2021 16:36:47 PDT): >Yeah I felt that her post was reasonable as well Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 16:36:51 PDT): >A lot of it was from her work actually I think only the 1 in 3 was from HLM 1 and there was one quote from qual study. Shruti Bhutada (9/29/2021 16:38:30 PDT): >I dont understand this. It makes people who work for them feel like crap. Externally I cant imagine these journalists and congress people going: Oh man!
