A. · Response

Respondent not recorded

QuestionLee asks whether Meta alerts parents when someone asks a juvenile to move to an encrypted messaging service — a known grooming tactic.

ResponseMeta does not directly answer; it describes safety notices shown to the teen themselves (not automatically to parents) and opt-in Messenger parental supervision visibility into contacts and settings, but no specific alert for "move to encrypted messaging" requests.
