Meta Vice President and Global Head of Safety Antigone Davis says she does not believe social media has “done harm to our children.”

At a recent social media inquiry, Nationals MP Andrew Wallace raised the issue with Ms. Davis, who on several occasions, rejected claims that digital platforms such as Facebook and Instagram hurt young individuals.
