End the algorithmic promotion of dangerous content to children under 18, including explicit and sexualizing content, racism and hate speech, content promoting disordered eating or self-harm, dangerous viral challenges, and content promoting drugs and alcohol.
Implement measures to prevent nefarious actors including sexual predators, sextortionists, and drug dealers from finding, meeting, and grooming children and teens across all Meta platforms. Start by purging known problematic adult accounts and not connecting them to kids, and upholding firewalls to prevent unknown adults from communicating with young users through direct messages.
Create fast, responsive reporting and feedback procedures, including things like telling kids how their report was resolved, removing illegal or harmful material and banning harmful accounts quickly, and detecting and nudging kids during potentially unsafe conversations.
