Protecting Kids Online: Facebook Instagram and Mental Health Harms

QuestionCruz asks (1) whether Facebook changed any policies in response to the suicide-ideation research, and (2) whether Facebook has ever quantified how many children have died by suicide attributable to its products, pressing repeatedly for a yes/no.

ResponseDavis never confirms a specific policy change tied to this research; on quantifying child deaths, she repeatedly says the research isn't "causal" and that such quantification would require long-term study Facebook hasn't done — effectively confirming, under Cruz's characterization, that no such count exists.
