Shareholders to Demand Action from Mark Zuckerberg and Meta on Child Safety

Meta shareholders will vote tomorrow on a resolution demanding a report on the company's child safety performance globally and related harm reduction on its platforms.
This resolution follows years of pressure from investors and advocacy groups, triggered by rising reports of child exploitation and concerns about Meta's failing safety measures and harmful algorithms.
The resolution calls for targets and quantitative metrics assessing whether Meta has improved child safety, amid criticisms that features like Instagram Teens promote harmful sexual, racist, and drug-related content.
Sarah Gardner, Heat Initiative CEO, and Michael Passoff, Proxy Impact CEO, say Meta's engagement-driven algorithms fuel abuse and cyberbullying, while recent AI advances pose unique threats to young users.
The vote and report aim to increase transparency and hold Zuckerberg and Meta accountable for ongoing regulatory, reputational, and legal risks connected to child safety lapses on their platforms.
