Edward Markey

A. · Response

Adam Mosseri

QuestionCites the Haugen 32%/6% teen-harm statistics and asks whether Mosseri supports bipartisan legislation to update COPPA to give 13–15 year olds control over their data.

ResponseMosseri disputes the 6% suicide-ideation figure as inaccurate (says it was actually 1%), says he supports federal (not industry) youth-safety regulation in principle, but raises age-verification concerns rather than directly answering "yes or no" on Markey's specific bill.
