Adam Mosseri

QuestionRejects Mosseri's platform-wide "5 in 10,000" prevalence stat as not matching what actually happened on the test 13-year-old account, and asks why Instagram's own recommended-account algorithm led directly to the harmful content shift.

ResponseMosseri accepts personal accountability if a bad recommendation occurred, and announces the Community Standards Enforcement Report will be independently audited by Ernst & Young starting that quarter.
