A. · Response

Adam Mosseri

QuestionPresses on whether the default "include my account in recommendations" setting should apply to minors, and whether adults who aren't flagged as suspicious can still find/follow/message minor accounts.

ResponseMosseri defends keeping the recommendation-inclusion default on for minors, and says private-account follow requests require the minor's own approval — doesn't address unsolicited discovery/messaging beyond that.
