 efforts to combat online child sexual abuse material. The report details how many reports we make to the NCMEC each quarter,      
 as well as providing data around our efforts on YouTube, how we detect and remove CSAM results from Search, and how many accounts 
 we disable for CSAM violations across our services.                                                                               |

 update, provides data on how we enforce our policies globally as well as information about our efforts to detect violative        
 content through automated flagging systems. With respect to child safety, the transparency                                        
 report tracks how many channels, videos, and comments are removed for child safety-related reasons each quarter. We disclose a    
 metric called the Violative View Rate, which measures our progress with respect to removing violative videos by estimating the    
 percentage of total views that go to violative videos each quarter.                                                               |

Our transparency efforts continue to advance to meet regulatory frameworks that include robust external reporting requirements It is important to note that a number of most — if not all — of the recent regulatory frameworks include robust reporting requirements. Notably, the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) requires us to make public a prescribed set of data on a regular basis. Among other things, the DSA requires reporting and risk assessments related specifically to children using covered platforms. In addition, the EU’s interim regulation to combat online child sexual abuse requires an annual transparency report. We also expect to file regular assessments under the UK Online Safety Act. And in 2023 we provided information for inclusion in Australia’s eSafety Commissioner’s report on online child safety. Given the extensive nature of these reporting requirements, we believe that the information called for under these frameworks will be more holistic, substantive, and informative in nature than the type of report the proponent has requested. Our Board does not believe that the additional report requested by this proposal is necessary or would provide additional useful information to our stockholders.
