"I don't think Mark understands the urgency of working on integrity related issues at IG."

Kevin Systrom (to Mark Zuckerberg): "I wanted to give you some context on our Integrity-focused headcount request that will come with the rest of the integrity asks. There are two initiatives we need to staff up: comments integrity (8 eng HC) and business integrity (5 eng HC)... I wanted to make sure you understood that they're both critical areas for safety on IG and we're doing our best to solve them." Mark Zuckerberg: "Thanks for the heads up. These both seem like important initiatives and I'm glad you're focused on them. Here's what I'll do: I mentioned in small group a few weeks ago that of the ~50 unallocated engineers, I'm going to allocate ~25 to integrity initiatives, ~12 to video and ~12 to groups / communities. Since I had not been tracking that IG had additional integrity needs, I asked the PAC, feed integrity and ads integrity teams to propose how to allocate the ~25 people. I'll now make sure we include IG in this mix. I should call out though that we're facing more extreme issues on FB right now with the murder, bad activity in private groups, etc. So I do view funding that as more urgent in the near term. I may also shift some of the video and groups headcount to integrity initiatives to make sure they're funded. This is just meant to say that I probably can't get you 13 engineers in the near term, even though I'm supportive of these projects and agree we should allocate more to them as more engineers become available."
