Antigone Davis
QuestionCiting a WSJ report that an outside consultant recommended Facebook adopt a policy to not profit from trafficking-related ad revenue, Lee asks whether that policy was adopted and, if not, why not.
ResponseDavis doesn't directly confirm whether the specific "don't profit from trafficking ad revenue" policy the consultant recommended was adopted — describes general anti-trafficking policy consolidation, enforcement staffing, and support for SESTA/FOSTA legislation instead.
