Adam Mosseri
QuestionA sustained cross-examination pressing Mosseri to commit to the UK children's code standard in the US, plus concrete enforcement mechanisms — AG lawsuits and private rights of action.
ResponseMosseri says he supports UK-style safety standards in principle, favors an industry body whose standards get policymaker approval and regulator enforcement, floats tying Section 230 protection to compliance, but repeatedly avoids committing to AG enforcement or private rights of action specifically.
