Big Tech and the Online Child Sexual Exploitation Crisis (QFR Responses)

QuestionGrassley asks how long Meta voluntarily retains CyberTipline-related data beyond the statutory 90-day minimum, what specific data types (IPs, screennames, geolocation, etc.) it retains, and why it doesn't retain longer to aid law enforcement investigations.

ResponseMeta says it exceeds legal reporting requirements, complies with the 90-day statutory preservation minimum but not more, disputes the premise that nothing prevents longer retention (citing CSAM possession liability risk), and calls for Congress to amend the statute to enable longer preservation; it does not directly itemize which specific data fields (IP, geolocation, etc.) it retains as asked in 1(c).
