YouTube CEO Neal Mohan shrugs off Meta’s attempt to persuade rivals to add safety features

Neal Mohan has had a busy week. On Wednesday, the YouTube CEO led his company as it presented new products and features at its annual Made On event. Then, after he stepped off the stage, Mohan delivered another announcement: He told CNN that YouTube will not be heeding Meta's request to add a specific set of safety features. "We have invested in making sure that young people are safe on our platform…for a very long time," Mohan said. "What you should expect from YouTube is continuing to focus on those things."
