BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"Meta's representations to the public and in response to Congressional inquiries concealed and misrepresented its extensive knowledge about the threats to young people on its platforms."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"Rather than act on the stunning findings, Meta hid this information from the public and Congressional oversight while providing misleading statistics, ignoring recommendations to protect teens, and even rolling back safety tools."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"Executives are alleged to have repeatedly made decisions to implement changes to a product that they knew would harm teens and shelved safeguards based on concerns about their impact on revenue."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"It now seems clear that the root of Meta's repeated failure to act to enhance the safety of its products starts at the top."
