A. · Response

Respondent not recorded

QuestionLee challenges Zuckerberg's hearing testimony on the "no causal link" finding as misleading given the same study's discussion of harms, and asks Meta to disclose the findings of its internal investigations into its impact on child mental health.

ResponseMeta reiterates the National Academies "no causal link" finding and emphasizes positive-use research (Pew study), confirms it conducts internal research on teens' experience that "has informed product changes," but does not disclose any specific findings from its own internal investigations as Lee requested.
