Adam Mosseri

QuestionAsks whether Mosseri was personally concerned by the suicidal-ideation finding, whether Instagram ever quantified actual teen-girl deaths linked to the product, and what specific policy changes resulted from the research.

ResponseMosseri says he's concerned but repeatedly deflects the "did you quantify actual deaths" question three separate times, and cites the Restrict feature (anti-harassment) and unspecified "limits" as concrete product changes stemming from the research.
