Pinterest's CLO Wanji Walcott penned a reflection on MLK Day 2025 stating: 'It's never been more important to create spaces where everyone feels welcome... That view is a core part of what makes Pinterest strong as a company and as a platform—and we will not waver in that belief.' While the company listed DEI attacks as a possible business risk in its 2024 10-K filing, it continues its diversity programs.

In the September 2022 inquest into Molly Russell's death, Pinterest was found alongside Instagram to have served harmful content to the 14-year-old. Molly had created a Pinterest board with 469 images related to self-harm and depression. Pinterest sent her emails including '10 depression pins you might like.' Senior Pinterest executive Judson Hoffman admitted the site was 'not safe' when Molly used it and said he 'deeply regrets' the posts she viewed, conceding it was material he would 'not show to my children.' The coroner issued a prevention of future deaths report to Pinterest.
