09:12Andy StoneHi folks - following up here with a smaller group just to make you aware of something related to Jeff's ongoing reporting of child safety issues on the platform. I don't want to come across as alarmist - and myself have pushed back vociferously on Jeff that he's created an artificial experience and this is niche content geared to a small audience - but want you to know what we're up against given the subject matter.
The following is a video from just this morning of the Accounts You Should Follow recommendations Jeff got in one of the Instagram accounts he has used to do this child safety investigation.
We have touted to Jeff our efforts to enhance and expand the use of MACSA scores across platforms and surfaces as one of the meaningful steps we're taking to address this issue. But if neither Jeff's burner IG account nor any of those that were recommended to him, as reflected in this video, has a MACSA score high enough to prevent recommendation, it's an eminently harder sell.
09:12Andy StoneThe working team is actively digging into this now to figure out what's going on.
