Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized to the families of children who suffered abuse on social media platforms during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.
“I’m sorry for everything you’ve all gone through,” Mr Zuckerberg said, turning to audience members holding up pictures of their loved ones. “Nobody should have to go through what your families have suffered. This is why we have invested so much and are going to continue industry-leading efforts to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things your families have suffered.”

This is an area where the governments around the world should 100% step in and create safety measures for vulnerable groups, these company’s clearly are not going to do it, the governments around the world are late to be implementing these measures. Parents also hold a responsibility to their children to help them navigate through these horrible social media sites, imagine a stranger walked up to your child and told them think x y and z would you tolerate it? I think not, so why let a stranger online do the same?

So you can’t blame the product. I mean we all know the product is bad. Why do you knowingly allow your children to get on them? What’s the age old saying? “It takes two to tango”.

Because 90% of the time, people like Zuck dance around the questions themselves. If you've seen any other video of Josh Hawley grilling politicians and CEOs, you'll notice they don't answer directly nor do they keep on track. Senators don't have much time to speak and ask questions, and Zuck has been doing this stuff for years, so he likely already know Josh doesn't have much time to grill him. When they actively start stalling, it's time to cut to the chase.

To be fair, as poisonous as social platforms are, or rather have become, I don't really find it fair to hold him at fault here. You choose what you follow and what you interact with. You choose what and who you block and prevent from interacting with you. You choose what you put out on internet thats related to you. And lets not forget that parents choose how much they want to get involved with their children and just be aware of waht that child is doing, dealing with and going through.

I would not defend a billionaire who makes fortune on a product that does not necessarily advance society, but to blame your kid’s self image on a social media company sounds pushing it. It is a for profit company, free to use, they can certainly do better but it is the responsibility of the government to safeguard and limit these companies. I am sure most of us will chose a world with instagram and facebook over a world with it.
