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

QuestionPadilla asks how Meta is responding to financial sextortion of minors — detection/disruption methods, user education, and whether Meta will study and report on demographic disparities in sextortion victimization.

ResponseMeta describes a multi-pronged sextortion response — policy, automated detection, investigations/NCMEC referral, default privacy/messaging restrictions for teens, suspicious-account detection, Take It Down/StopNCII, and Stop Sextortion education resources with Thorn — and calls for OS-level age-verification legislation, but does not directly answer whether it has studied demographic disparities in sextortion victimization (10d).
