TikTok's newest statement on the non-credible warnings of school violence expresses worry that the narratives surrounding this news event could inspire somebody to actually take action — a fear shared by law enforcement. More here: https://t.co/TmEC2KLzKS — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cantwell is calling for a new FTC probe of Facebook, focusing on the company's claims about how effective it is at removing hate speech and its estimates of any given ad's potential reach. Facebook's conduct may be unfair or deceptive, she warns. https://t.co/37Ag9RhbJd — PolitiTweet.org

In general, today’s hearing has been pretty productive. Very little grandstanding. Informed questions, and mostly direct answers. Even the evasive answers were revealing. — PolitiTweet.org

Gotta duck out for now but keep following @claresduffy’s updates for more! — PolitiTweet.org

Whatever you believe about social media's actual impact on mental wellbeing, it seems not too off-base to conclude that the Surgeon General does believe that there is, or could be, a link. That Mosseri would not even acknowledge that this is what the report says is telling. https://t.co/r5I39CO5ob — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Sullivan tried to get Mosseri to acknowledge a connection between social media and harms to mental health. Mosseri would not be pinned down, implying Sullivan was misreading the report, putting words in the Surgeon General's mouth or making logical leaps. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Mosseri and Sen. Sullivan just had a really important exchange right now over the Surgeon General's report on youth mental health (available here): https://t.co/XO2lBksnFE — PolitiTweet.org

Instagram moved away from reverse-chron feeds beginning in 2016. At the time, Instagram justified the change by saying that people were missing out on a lot of content because it wasn't recent enough to be displayed in reverse-chron. https://t.co/HgnBxTOTXj — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Mosseri continues that Instagram has been working on this "for months" (though isn't this how Insta used to be?) and that they're aiming to release it in "the first quarter of next year." — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Mosseri tells Sen. Thune that Instagram is actively working on a version of the feed that is presented in chronological order rather than by Instagram's ranking algorithm. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Kind of wild that Sen. Blackburn's staff was able to identify an Instagram loophole that Instagram itself wasn't aware of until "hours before the hearing." @claresduffy with more: https://t.co/yh6HK7lmQ5 https://t.co/zsGsxnF41x — PolitiTweet.org

Juggling a few things here but the other thing Mosseri would not commit to was Blumenthal's request that Instagram permanently halt development of Instagram Kids, a program for 10-12 y/o children. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Blumenthal is trying to get Mosseri to agree to an independent standards body, not an industry-led body. Mosseri is not committing to that. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Mosseri is up now, discussing his proposed industry self-regulatory body. Social media platforms, he says, "should have to earn some of their Section 230 protections" by following the best practices listed by that body. (Again, Blumenthal seems to view self-reg as a nonstarter.) — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Like Blumenthal, Blackburn says her staff created a test account "as a 15-year-old-girl" and added that it "defaulted to public" rather than private. — PolitiTweet.org
