Adam Mosseri

QuestionDescribes a live test — a teen account with all safety filters enabled searching "slit wrists" and returning graphic self-harm content within days of the hearing — and asks whether Mosseri will commit to full algorithm disclosure to an independent (non-industry) authority.

ResponseMosseri doesn't address the specific "slit wrists" search-result finding at all, pivots immediately to a general transparency-alignment statement.
