QuestionDoes a human review every under-13 report, and how does Meta verify an account holder's age?

ResponseMeta describes a two-stage automated + human-reviewer process for evaluating under-13 reports (not literally "every" report reviewed by a human — automation resolves many cases first), plus a third-party age-verification partnership with Yoti for date-of-birth changes.
