15:48████Ravi/ apologies for the late sunday ping crashing on getting MZ some CSAM materials shortly - ive flagged this comment for Antigone via ping but in case either of you can also confirm, would be much appreciated
15:49████Shared an image
16:09████confirmed with Antigone it's correct! @silent
16:35████I'll be offline for the night. If csam related please ping Ravi. I cover youth well being. Thx
16:35████Please call me directly if it's an emergency. Thx
16:36████will hope to avoid that! thank you!
16:37Ravi SinhaI don't think the highlighted section is correct. Is that the part you're trying to confirm?
16:39Ravi SinhaPrior to the Task Force, we had some limitations the recommendations between minors and potentially suspicious adults, but they didn't cover everything and we're always bi-directional. As part of the task force, we rolled out bi-directional protections to, most notably, PYMK recommendations. But they didn't exist there prior to the Task Force.
16:41████hi Ravi yes, especially in relation to the added comment (highlight on the right with the comment vs highlight on the left from the graphic)
16:43████this is what Antigone said for full vis want to just make sure we're all aligned before we lock that slide in

16:45Ravi Sinhaok, thanks. We can spin up a chat with Antigone and others as needed. My understanding is that, prior to the CSTF, we were recommending minors to potentially suspicious adults and vice versa in PYMK. Closing that gap, which we did, was accomplished as part of the CSTF. Here's post documenting that we closed it in H2 of last year:

16:46████i can just add here here if that works?
16:46Ravi SinhaSure, please do.
16:47████hi Antigone, sorry to add you to yet another chat just wanted to have full clarity on this slide that we're finalizing
16:47████this is Ravi's recollection so just want to make sure we give OC the latest guidance on what that slide should say
16:53Ravi Sinha@ Could you please confirm that: (1) we implemented bi-directional MaCSA protections for adult-minor PYMK recommendations and (2) that MaCSA-based adult minor-PYMK protections didn't exist prior to the CSTF?
16:55Ravi Sinha's team drove that work as part of the Task Force, as I recall. Here's the escalation doc for it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15vpR9H1e02CP4SMdwAyWNP2q6qkhZNiYr1LQICKWUGM/edit #shareadoc
