As teams have been working to implement, they've bumped into concerns about voice expressed by Growth org. Given external pressure about this topic, we'd like to escalate and resolve ASAP. The XFN (including reps from the Child Safety Task Force) is preparing an escalation document, but it's not clear how to move this forward. Amit (10/02/2023 10:07:11 PDT): >is this pushback from FOA? Can you get me up to speed Amit (10/02/2023 10:08:25 PDT): >this is the detailed escalation doc Amit (10/02/2023 10:08:26 PDT): shared: Decision_-Adult-Minor-Recommendations.pdf Gabriel (10/02/2023 10:12:13 PDT): >Yep; < >1/ We'd been escalating with Growth on PYMK filters for risky adult-minors as part of the taskforce > >2/ Policy were surprised that this escalation was needed at all because on the policy books, we should already be not recommending adult<>teen connections via PYMK. There are some live policy escalations that depend on having a clear answer to (1) what is our policy? and (ii) is it being enforced? > >3/ Policy are now moving towards a broader escalation to align recommendations implementation with the policy lines, but this will have some significant x-app tradeoffs on friending/connections Amit Bhattacharyya (10/02/2023 10:13:05 PDT): >Growth is Gui's team? Gabriel (10/02/2023 10:13:11 PDT): >Yes Amit (10/02/2023 10:13:18 PDT): >what about IG? Gabriel (10/02/2023 10:13:58 PDT): >IG had already implemented the filters so we hadn't needed an XI conversation with IG as part of the taskforce work, but the broader policy push will go beyond the taskforce scope and have further impact on IG Amit (10/02/2023 10:27:39 PDT): >i spoke to Andy. Our view is that the decision making group is likely Adam, Tom, Gui, Andy, Antigone, and me. > >Gut-checking this @Anna @Sayed Amit (10/02/2023 10:28:21 PDT): >to coordinate the deck / escalation, Andy is spinning up a thread w/ Rahul, Gabriel, me, Aleah (the person on his team focused on this), and James. Sayed Otaru (10/02/2023 10:40:40 PDT): >Restricting teen <> adult AYMF also has implications for how we would subsequently do content recommendations for teen <> adult. Following a prior escalation, on IG we limit teen <> adult content recommendations to only. We are now in the process of extending that to teen <> adult AYMF recommendations (for only).

Anna (10/02/2023 11:24:28 PDT): >Catching up here. @Gabriel does this related to the email thread I responded on late last week with Aleah? Gabriel (10/02/2023 11:30:55 PDT): >Yes same email thread Anna (10/02/2023 11:31:46 PDT): >I read that as a policy-driven convo on how far we want to go, not one related to specific pushback Robert (10/02/2023 15:56:39 PDT): >>Outside Counsel, Public Affairs, Policy, and Legal have reviewed known records of external statements and found that we have made extensive statements that we have filtering in place preventing Risky Adults and Minors from being recommended to each other on both FB's PYMK and IG'S AYMF. *However, leadership within Policy can recall making broader statements; we have not been able to identify specific records but we cannot rule out the possibility that our external statements have gone beyond Risky Adult protections.* > >*Bold* blurb is the reason where this is coming from.
