Respondent not recorded

QuestionCiting Arturo Bejar's internal emails to Meta executives, Lee asks whether Zuckerberg finds it acceptable that internal data showed 21.8% of 13-15-year-olds were bullied weekly and 24.4% received unwanted sexual advances.

ResponseMeta disputes Bejar's characterization and reframes the surveys as sentiment tools rather than harm-prevalence measures, without confirming or denying the specific percentages; it cites bullying-content removal rates and describes tools like Restrict and Hidden Words.
