During a U.S. Senate hearing focused on combating online child sexual exploitation, the CEOs of Meta, X, TikTok, Snap, and Discord were subjected to rigorous questioning. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, took the stand and addressed the audience during the Senate Judiciary Committee session in Washington. Inside the hearing chamber, numerous parents stood, anticipating the arrival of the CEOs, clutching images of their children.

Last year, the committee endorsed multiple bills, among them one aimed at revoking tech firms' immunity from civil and criminal liabilities under laws concerning child sexual abuse material, initially proposed in 2020. However, none of these bills have yet been enacted into law.

    The US government telling others they have blood in their hands. Almost poetic
  • @ClarityMedical
    Someone gets stabbed, should we blame the person who made the knife. This is what's happening here
  • I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k,but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million
  • So if I am harmed in the USA, I can sue the government for their failure to prevent it?
  • @kennichols3992
    I despise Zuckerberg. But we're crucifying him for our own failings as parents. Social Media isn't a creature that jumps out of a tree on you while walking down the street. You have to go looking for it. Take the smartphones from the kids. A few people have survived their teenage years without them.

    So two parents cannot take care of their child, but they expect a company to take care of hundreds of millions of people accessing their platform. what can Meta do? To hire one person for each child who is allowed to be on the phone from the age of two? Parents would do anything not to blame themselves but social media, bands, games, etc
  • Hello, I want to start investing but I don't know where to begin. Any advice or contacts for help?
  • @AnnEve-mi5zv
    The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich. These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
  • @athenaparish72
    It is the parent's responsibility to regulate social media. Maybe not let social media raise your kids. Take away the cell phones iphones androids, ipads. Responsibility starts at home.
  • @brucewane6282
    These senators are clowns. Ask all those senators how they earned their millions with a service servant job?
  • @clarabrown9920
    You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
  • @blueroses56
    This is literally like blaming a teacher who spent day and night working on a kid's education instead of the kid who didn't study...
  • @faridgasimov1742
    I hope one day politicians will be asked very same questions and be required to answer. "Will you reimburse out of your own money to people who fell victim to your policies or lack of thereof?", "Do you want to get up and apologize to the families of victims of your actions?" This is a one way street now.
  • @Rapunzle96
    This is wild 😂 these politicians should get a turn to be questioned too! The questions they ask ARE CRAZY
  • @calebmendoza5067
    What is a child doing with a cellphone to Begin with? Shame on the parents.
  • @jampscode7952
    It's like when someone hit by the car rather than blaming the driver it blames the car company for manufacturing it . If parents are failing to take responsibility of their kids how can they expect a company to compensate them.
  • @mahi_mad
    He’s greedy, but he’s become a scapegoat in this. If this is the way they talk then US and UK should be held accountable for most of the countries in the world. #hypocrites
  • @teatalks3685
    I am willing to bet that almost none of those kids who passed away bought the phones that they were currently using.
  • @criticovirtual
    Finally, comments with common sense. Love you people. We finally learned that besides the epicity of the moment, we're blaiming Meta that doesn't have anything to do with parenting or the suicide of individual persons.
