Sam Parker: "I checked in with PMM/comms and their POV is that the concerns have gotten stronger and they'd like to escalate. Why they think H2 is a worse time to unship from an Outreach POV than their already strong concerns in early March for H1 unship: • Time spent is a bigger concern due to COVID/spending more time online • We just deprioritized the mental health team, so no new or upcoming features to point to here • FB launched their v2 time spent tool on iOS in Q2 (Android coming in Q3) and got decent press around the re-launch • Upcoming moments make the market environment sensitive in this area (suicide prevention day (sept), world mental health day (oct)) and there is concern that back-to-school will spark new issues in market perception due to the majority being online/remote learning so time spent online will likely be top-of-mind for many How should we approach resolving the disagreement?" ████: "I'm curious who's the biggest advocate towards unshipping it now? I think the strongest reason is the data accuracy concerns so perhaps someone who can represent the risk there (DS/DE?). From a simplicity POV this doesn't actually add much clutter imo -- it's in the side menu, which feels like an appropriate place for a feature that's used but small % of DAPDAPDaily Active PeopleCore Meta engagement metric counting the distinct people active on a platform in a day, reported per app and across the family. The source document lists it among the four teen metrics a "Youth Defense Task Force" was formalised to protect - "teen MAP, DAP, TS and PS" - from "experiments and rollouts across Facebook that negatively affect teen metrics".Full entry ↗. I think it would be helpful to do the following next steps: (1) Have a robust in-person discussion/review where advocates from both side of the spectrum are there to rep. (2) if we can't decide or just feel like it's good to raise awareness of this tradeoff, we can then tee up over email to IG Leads. I think we can use one of the upcoming WB reviews slots for (1)." ████: "Adding ████ to this thread to weigh in. If H2 is a sensitive time to unship this feature, we could give your team an extension to unship next half. Either way, I think it's important for us to discuss its future sooner rather than later, so we know how we should proceed given that the feature in its current state is not a great user experience and could put us at risk of losing user trust."
