Adam Mosseri

QuestionAsks for copies of Meta's studies on Instagram's detrimental health effects on minors, the actions taken in response, and specifically whether research identifies a safe number of daily-use hours.

ResponseMeta describes its research infrastructure and lists concrete product changes (Hidden Words, Restrict, comment warnings with a 50% self-edit rate, suicide-content policy update) but never provides copies of the underlying studies and never answers the "how many hours is safe" question — citing confidentiality instead.
