A. · Response

Adam Mosseri

QuestionCites the WSJ "Facebook Files" 32%/13%/6% statistics and asks whether Mosseri will finally commit to producing the underlying research to the committee.

ResponseMosseri again disputes the widely-cited stats (reframing 32% as "1 in 3 girls who already suffer from body image issues," and the suicide figure as 1% not 6%), and commits only to "doing all I can," citing privacy and data-retention limits rather than a hard yes on producing the research.
