A. · Response
Respondent not recorded
QuestionCarper asks what information Meta proactively shares with law enforcement to help prevent violent attacks before they happen, given how quickly social media can accelerate radicalization.
ResponseMeta describes sharing information with law enforcement reactively (on request or upon identifying a "credible threat"), rather than proactively flagging radicalization patterns before an attack, and does not directly address what "more needs to be done."
