Meta has taken a “don’t ask, don’t tell(不问不说，指故意回避问题)” strategy when it comes to the safety of children on its social media platforms, according to a whistleblower(举报人，内部爆料者) who testified during a landmark trial(里程碑式审判，具有重大意义的案件) against the company on Tuesday and Wednesday.
据一名在周二和周三针对该公司的里程碑式审判中作证的举报人称，Meta在其社交媒体平台上对儿童安全采取了“不问不说”的策略。
Arturo Béjar, a former Meta safety engineer, told the jury that the company was aware of the harm its products caused children, which included its recommendations pushing content from sexual predators and violent and graphic images.(Arturo Béjar作证称公司知晓其产品对儿童的伤害，包括推荐性侵犯者内容和暴力图片。) He said he repeatedly(反复地，一再地) raised the issue to various Facebook and Instagram executives but that they did little to(几乎没有做任何事来) resolve it.
Meta前安全工程师Arturo Béjar告诉陪审团，该公司知晓其产品对儿童造成的伤害，包括其推荐系统推送性侵犯者的内容和暴力、露骨的图片。他说他曾多次向Facebook和Instagram的多位高管提出这个问题，但他们几乎没有采取任何解决措施。
In his testimony, Béjar said his job often included him briefing(向…做简报，简要汇报) Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, on product issues. He estimated(估计，估算) that he spoke to the CEO at least 100 times. One email Béjar sent to Zuckerberg in 2021 showed the engineer warning of constant reports(不断的报告，持续不断的举报) of harmful content and damage to teenage wellbeing on Facebook and Instagram. Béjar said he emailed Zuckerberg after the CEO publicly said the company doesn’t prioritize profit over safety(将利润置于安全之上).
在证词中，Béjar说他的工作常常包括向Meta首席执行官马克·扎克伯格汇报产品问题。他估计自己与这位CEO交谈过至少100次。2021年，Béjar发给扎克伯格的一封邮件显示，这位工程师警告称，Facebook和Instagram上不断有关于有害内容和损害青少年健康的报告。Béjar说，他是在扎克伯格公开表示公司不会将利润置于安全之上之后给其发邮件的。
