it drives teens in a certain direction and then makes it very difficult for the teen once in a dark place to find light again and to get out of it. so my question to you is, don't we need enforceable standards set by an independent authority, not an industry body, objective, independent researchers with full access to your algorithms. will you commit to support full disclosure of your algorithms and a commitment to an independent authority? >> senator, we're very aligned, we agree on the transparency -- the importance of transparency, not only of how ranking works -- >> you would make available all of the studies like the one that frances haugen presented to us when she was there. >> senator, i'm confident that we are more transparent than any other tech company in the industry -- >> that's a low bar, mr. mosseri. that's like you're in the gutter, forgive me, in terms of transparency because they committed to make available their algorithms, but only after we pressed them to do it. and we still are awaiting full compliance. >> senator, we've been publishing research for years. we're going

towards teens? >> we believe that anyone should have an age-appropriate experience on instagram or any social platform. we have different rules for ads on instagram and on facebook. we only allow advertisers to target on age, gender, location. we do not allow things like weight-loss ads and dating ads for those under the age of 18 or alcohol related ads for those under the age of 21. >> t support legislation that would ban targeting of ads to children? >> i believe it is valuable for ads to be relevant but i believe some measures should be taken to keep children safe. i would support something in the direction of what we do, limit targeting abilities on platforms. >> yes or no? mandate or no mandate? that is a question. that is why we have to make sure that facebook and instagram do not reserve the right to be able to target these kids. yes or no? >> i'm trying to be specific about what i would support. we build a limited targeting option. >> i just keep coming back to the fact that your answers are

they disclaimed that instagram is harmful to teens. let me ask you, and i think it's pretty much a yes or no question, same question that we asked facebook, have any of your companies conducted research on whether your apps can have a negative effect on childrens or teens mental health or well-being and whether your apps predict addiction-like use. have you done that research? >> senator, we have conducted research. much of our research is focused on our products and how we can improve our products and services to really meet the needs of our users and our community. and as i mentioned in our opening testimony, some of the research that we did shows that 95% of users say that snap chat makes them happy. >> would you make that research available? >> yes, senator, we would. >> we believe that research should be done in a transparent way, and for us we partner with external experts and stakeholders to get their feedback. and additionally, we've actually supported passage of the camera act, which could have additional funding at mih and we
