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
  • So if I am harmed in the USA, I can sue the government for their failure to prevent it?
  • @dylandesmond
    How is it a company owners fault that parents didn't do their job? And then the same parents are at the court trying to blame everyone except themselves???
  • @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.
  • @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.
  • @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.
  • @criscris8803
    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
  • @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.
  • @jamesdigriz5449
    Shou Chew's calm reaction to those dumb questions is priceless! 😂
  • @gumba609
    It's like a car company apologizing for accident victims. So unfair! It's the billions he made that choke the panelists.
  • @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.
  • @dannylifted9441
    We can't criticize social media platforms for blocking free speech and also criticize them for not blocking free speech at the same time.
  • @Rhymaestro
    Who let the girls use the platform at the first place, whose parents should be taking the first steps at first place
  • @brucewane6282
    These senators are clowns. Ask all those senators how they earned their millions with a service servant job?
  • @pablomendoza3298
    The parents are to blame. Because they let their kids access the internet with out any restriction
  • @davedalton01
    How many of us adults did things that we're age restricted . Smoking...our parents didn't blame the cigarette makers, nudie magazines... our parents didn't blame the publisher, watching R rated movies.....the movie industry wasn't blamed. This world has got its head up it's own as*hole. This is pathetic. And it just goes on and on and on...
  • @frankz6881
    Why he needs to compensate them?? Did he harm them? What their parents do??? It’s their parents’ responsibility!! Do the gun companies, knives manufacturers need to compensate them?? Ridiculous!!
