A. · Response

Respondent not recorded

QuestionPadilla asks what percentage of Meta's budget goes to child safety, what risk assessment informed that figure, and how many layers of leadership separate trust & safety leaders from Zuckerberg.

ResponseMeta cites overall safety/security headcount (~40,000) and spend (~$20B since 2016, ~$5B last year) rather than a child-safety-specific budget percentage, describes its risk-monitoring process qualitatively, and states its Global Head of Safety works closely with the executive team without specifying a reporting-layer count.
