Andrea Saul: "My feeling is that we should release everything together post-election, with one possible exception of the CEICEIChild Exploitative ImageryMeta's policy and enforcement category for imagery that sexually exploits children, tracked separately from Minor Sexualization and from Inappropriate Interactions with Children. The source document has executives weighing whether to limit the CEI figure published in the Community Standards Enforcement Report to Facebook only, "to avoid a step-change some time in the future when we lose access to private messaging", at a point when by their own estimate "almost 90%" of egregious CEI content was on Messenger.Full entry ↗ data. We want to have a moment where we talk about all we do in the child safety space, and given the size of the CEI removal number, I think doing it separately may better contextualize it so people aren't scared of what's happening on FB. Emily is pulling together what the narrative itself will look like, so we can see that before making any decisions – and we need approval from Mark to release CEI at all, which the data team is taking to him in the next couple of weeks for a decision." Vishwanath ████: "Strongly agree with both the points on not using fake accounts in the context of elections as well as the child safety data." 2. "Child Safety is going to be hard to explain and talk about given the nuance and nature of the numbers. I fear the nuance will get lost in the large set of numbers for CSER and feel talking about Child Safety earlier would really be valuable and reduce the risk of misunderstanding." Guy Rosen: "Starting a thread on potentially releasing CEI numbers before CSER v2 to prevent the nuance being lost when we publish. This seems like a very reasonable thing because the numbers do seem scary w/o context. The one additional thought I wanted to float here is to package it with some 'good news' - either: a. new product development we can talk about in the space b. I've always wanted to do this: success stories of cases we've helped children? We literally save lives (recent example here) and we have historically been worried about talking about it. I wonder if we need to lean into this more similar to how we've talked about suicide success stories. Also given some of the conversation e.g. in the UK seem to be moving from just CEI to Grooming, showing that we literally have cases where AI detected something and a child's life trajectory is changed for the better could be valuable (seriously I get goosebumps writing this)."
