Mark Zuckerberg Apologizes to Families as Tech CEOs Face Tough Questions on Child Safety

Mark Zuckerberg apologized directly to families who say their children were harmed by social media platforms in a Senate Judiciary Committee on child safety issues. The Meta CEO addressed attendees who lost children to online harms and faced nearly four hours of bipartisan questioning with other CEOs. Senators from both parties grilled the CEOs of Meta, X, Snap, TikTok, and Discord for over three hours, demanding accountability for online child exploitation. They expressed frustration at the lack of progress on the issues despite past hearings.
