Children shouldn't be on social media period.
Yep, I learned that the hard way...13 year olds are addicted to Porn and contracting STD's now...I had NO IDEA :(
Agreed. Thats the parents responsibility, not the CEO
Exactly!!!
And meta should use AI to detect their presence on their platforms and block it.....but they don't because $$$
easier said than done. kids are smart - they always find a way - even with parents setting up blocks / walls / time limits. Parents and Zuck both need to face the music.
This isn’t completely under his control. Parents need to monitor their children.
Agree. The first bullet is especially misleading: what portion of that 37% were _looking_ for nudity? Betting it's the vast majority.
Why not both?
@@mark99khe said the nudity was unwanted under 30 seconds into the video 🤦♂️
@@zeke5745 That isn't what the poster says.
@@mark99k I have literally never seen anything that bad on FB. These hearings are designed to sound a certain way and aren't very realistic. FB can't look at every single post and I can say they are using AI to check content. It's kinda crazy how they try to make it sound.
If you don’t let your kids outside unattended don’t let them online unattended
Weaning your kids off of attendance is parenthood. And if the town or city per your "outside" analogy doesn't have effective/any traffic or pedestrian control. Such as no lights, signs, gates at a rail crossing. Then yes absolutely they can and do get held accountable.
That may be true. But I think what we all want is for the outside and the internet to be safe places to be. It's not right that kids need to be kept in a bubble because the world is so dangerous now. Clean up the dangers so that kids can be safe and not be feeling like they are always in danger no matter what they do. What a terrible way to grow up.
I guess you don't have teenagers. Or kids. There comes a time when you need to give your teens some space and trust. No parent can supervise their teenage children to that extent as to be literally by their sides 24/7 and in their faces when they are trying to learn how to navigate the world on their own. That's part of parenting. And it's hard. But at some point you have to let go a little. If you don't they will become adults who have no idea how to be independent. And that's dangerous for them.
Well stated.
Dude you can't stop kids at the age of 13 to 16 from smartphone... Please stop bashing parents... There's 0 way to stop kids and forcing them will lead to even more problematic situations... People having 0 kids in life are taking about parenthood in comment section...
Parents need to be held accountable.
???Children are not their property, you think telling their children to stay away from social media is realistic and possible???
@@johanhoon2515 it's definitely possible. There are controls and stuff and they need to actually be parents.
@@johanhoon2515 seems like you never met some responsible parents and good children out there. I pity you and your fam. And fyi it's possible.
No worries I come from a decent family unlike so many other children. To clarify: Absolutely, in a normal, ideal parents should controland protect children; Unfortunately, we do not live in sucha world, we live in a f*cked up world where parentiong basically does not exist or exist in the form of letting children do whatever they like. So my point: disfunctional parenting cannot solve anything@@Nevertheless16
How should Parents Controll whats going on on social Media? Its the platforms Job.! If and underaged is able to create an Account that the Platform ahould do anything they can do to prevent their users for harm
Parents need to be hold accountable as well
Yes, them too!
For what? Not helicopter parenting their children? Constantly ask their children to hand them their phones to check if they are on social media? I mean you can absolutely do that and ruin your relationship with your kids. If that is your goal. Helicopter parenting obviously never ends in ruined relationships. The best parents can do is advice their children about the dangers of social media. That's about it. If you start helicoptering, you are only going to ruin your relationship with your kid.
What needs to be done is for these social media sites to ban teens and kids on their platforms. They can easily make it compulsory to be verified to have a social media account. No different than needing to show your ID at a club to get in. However, they won't do it. That's because unlike clubs, social media sites depend on the traffic from teens and kids to make money. Adults are not as active on social media as teens and kids. There is no financial incentive for them to shoot themselves in the foot by making it compulsory to be verified.
bot
The app is a teen app ,that has been hijacked. The problem is the adults on a kids app that has gotten exploited for money.
Internet should be 22 and older
Parents need a wake up call!!! Monitor your kids, put parental controls on , know what your kids are doing online!!! Don’t make it others responsibility to keep your kids safe it’s yours!!!
Fb and insta get a lot of money, they can hire qualified people to filter and care for young people
I blame the parents here. They are fake victims
Unfortunately you cant escape it. Other kids at school that know too much are a danger too.
you think its that easy? you dont think its at there school and every where else they go.
Thank you so much for this comment! I don’t know why this innovative guy is getting drilled for ultimately what should’ve been an involved parents responsibility 😳🤷🏾♀️
This is ridiculous. I truly wish that senator could apply the same passion to confront people who are really putting others in danger, not a social platform where children have no business being at and parents shouldn't have given them access to.
I guarantee if you had children between the ages of 14 and 17 they would go online whether you liked it or not.
It is fake passion, Josh Hawley is just another lobbyist who prioritizes personal gain over anything else. He regularly creates these drama shows solely for the public (...maybe the elderly fall for his act). He is just human garbage among a list of them.
This clown keeps talking about compensation to every lil girl who uses the internet because he wants to cash in and make money too. Unfortunately they aren't passionate about other crimes and real issues because they can't make big bucks. I think everyone knows it's the parents responsibility even the clown knows that's why he keeps interrupting mark.. asking a question and then repeating the same thing over and over and over again
@@pugdad1248 well I don't, so its not really my problem is it? Maybe you should just raise your kids right 🤷♂
@@20deepini wasn’t even talking to you. Not talking from experience so kind of weird of you to say take care of my kids. I’m not even old enough to have a teenager but okay. Trust me I know you don’t have kids. You probably don’t even have a girlfriend.
When your ages 13 to 17 you will go on internet when your at school or with friends. How would parents control that. Answer is you can’t
Noone let him answer the questions . They just carry out an order
Imagine parents throwing their children under a train and then seeing the rail company sued for the children's death.
Uh it would still get sued, probably. So long as the parents hid their tracks well. Ba dum pshhh
bot
Agreed.
This is flawed logic. All major social media platforms have their data servers managed by the respective companies. These companies are responsible for sharing the data content they manage. If the control of adult content is not effective, then it is the responsibility of the platform owning company to make them effective.
@@slwide7507 Given your logic the rail company are also responsible for safety within its premises, including blacklisting dangerous criminals, block access to the rails from any lunatic parents. If the control is not effective, it is the job of the rail company to make them effective?
I mean come on, to what extend? The rail company got to shoulder some responsibility but the passengers should as well right?
When did parents cease to be responsible for the behavior of their children, and for keeping them safe?
Since this Senator started talking. By blaming the tech billionaire, they can sue him with the hopes of making money. Shame on these parents. Shame.
Thank you.
Exactly my point
You can’t regulate Instagram content. But Instagram/ Facebook can.
@justwatchingrandomly exactly. Anybody can join their platforms. Why is it so hard to understand?
Josh Hawley would never ask the CEO of a gun company if they had compensated the family of the children harmed by their products. Let alone to hold them to the fire over their answer.
As a Norwegian, observing American society feels like watching a real-life crime drama, but with even graver consequences. Daily school shootings and a pervasive drug epidemic, particularly with fentanyl, are deeply disturbing to witness. Instead of addressing these issues, they're often overshadowed by scapegoating a single individual for all the problems.
Yes. They need to single out some evil in order to think of themselves as good and have a purpose in their lives.

Are you with your child 100% of the time?
@@Shmyrkunless she takes away her children’s access to devices when she’s not around it’s impossible to monitor. A determined child can get pass parental blocks on devices quite easily
on a platform that caters to and wants kids on their site????? if sesame street started showing the things that facebook shows to kids you wouldn't blame sesame street????
I have some knowledge on tech and parental controls and I’m always always trying to teach parents about how to use it or how to control the wifi. Do the same instead of defending the 13 to 15 yr olds getting exposed to this type of stuff
he won't even let him speak. wow.
that made me so mad
its the kind of individual who should resign or be voted out of office; trying to make a name for himself! Standing with Mark!
Because he's speaking nothing but non-sense. He's not in Facebook headquarters
Because he was dodging all the questions. He sounded more like a politician than the senators themselves 😂
How is he dodging questions if he wasn't even allowed to answer?@@Outlines
This is ridiculous, they don’t even let him answer.
Why are parents allowing their kids to be online anyways? I didn't have phone and internet until I was 17. Stop allowing young people use social media and then pointing the blame to other, YOU ARE the parent, not the businessman.
I had one with text only, maybe we should go back to that 😄
iagree but thats what Zuckerburg wants to get the next generations hooked
I'm confused. Why doesn't Senator Hawley speak up for the victims of gun violence this way?
Because guns don’t kill people. People kill people. And guns or not, that’s still going to happen. The only thing taking guns away from citizens is going to accomplish is the establishment of full on fascism from your nanny government. Our 2nd Amendment is in place to ensure that they can never do that. But it seems like you anti-gun people don’t get that. You will wish you had once the final nail is driven into the Constitution’s Coffin by your elected officials.
Because it is the person pulling the trigger that is responsible - not the gun itself.
Much like it is Zuckerberg who is the one pulling the trigger and not the platform ( which would be the gun in this Analogy).
because guns dont expoit children for profit. in fact kids are considering killing other kids because of social media.
@@bigbrotherisasob Your reasoning is flawed. We need to compare like for like .
I agree with your statement it is the person pulling the trigger that is responsible.
If the gun is the same as the platform, then we need to compare users for users. A user of a gun is the person who pulls the trigger. A user of the platform is either the viewer or whoever creates content on the platform to be viewed.
The gun is neither good nor evil, it depends on how you use it. You can use it to protect or you can use it to harm others.
The platform is neither good nor evil. You can use it for good (educational purposes) or for bad.
Just like how you wouldn't leave a gun hanging about for kids to play with because of its potential harm, in the same way you shouldn't let kids full access to a platform that can potentially cause harm.
Zuckerberg is the creator of the platform and blaming him is the same as blaming the gun manufacturer.
Nope, that analogy is nothing but flawed. Zuckerberg created the platform and provides the service for consumers to interact with everyone. His equivalent would be the head of a company that invented and sells firearms. Zuckerberg is not the one that uploaded and sent explicit messages to children. The ppl on the platform did. These parents expecting Mark to solve everything is like the family of someone who got shot at night downtown blaming the firearms sellers instead of the criminal that killed the person.
Edit: someone beat me to it by a minute ig lol
"Parents, im extremely sorry for your gross negligence & for not taking responsibility for your kids".
Your kids may still watch porn on their friends devices ….
"and yet I will also give my contribution by making these platforms as tempting and addicting as possible for all ages that even parents believe that it's "normal" to engage in mindless scrolling for hours"
@@ackerwoman16they don't get it but they'd be the first people to sue if their kid got hurt at someone's home to try to sue them. it wouldn't be "their fault" for letting their kid go. I don't understand what is not understood about social media being purposely addictive and harmful and built to be that way
Instagram is marketed as a teen app . But when it became popular Zuckerberg bought it & it got hijacked by adults and ever since has been nothing but , death , pornography, violence , false information and hate .
@@thebossy1 ikr
I don't think senator understands what Instagram is
A porn site were mostly all OF and porn sites being promoted .
@@nycyuutoyt2953*It's oppressive and gross.*
Why do children have social media and where were the parents of these kids when their kids were using social media? We always throw the ball to somebody else and the responsibility too.
This is scapegoating! Parents are always blaming others for their lack of parental involvement.
@@RainnjonesKids shouldnt have social media period the parents are to Blame
Kid of a single parent I didn’t get a phone until middle school and even then once a week or so my mom would check my phone and had restrictions on certain websites until I got to highschool. She also educated me on technology, the dangers of the internet as well as other issues. It’s like blaming a manufacturer if someone dies in a car accident. It’s the parents responsibility to monitor and limit their kids screen usage and be aware
@I_Love_My_Little_Willy I side with @DaisySawn808 on this. A correct point should be posted everywhere until people actually contemplate it, instead of just chalking it up as, 'Well, you have an opinion." I'll post the same thing in response to the prevalent opinion posted that, 'It's the parents' responsibility!" And, I agree that the parents have huge, primary responsibility in this. But, can a parent's job be made harder? When the drug dealer gets to the parents' kids, does the drug dealer bear any responsibility? That is what is being asserted in these hearings.... that the social media companies aren't so completely on the up and up like they are trying to make you believe, and they have a bit of drug dealer oiliness to them, but far more insidious.
Just because there will always be bad in the world doesn't mean we should stop pointing out what is bad and fighting against it.
Yup
*No. Parents are allowed to blame adults that are SHOVING their content down the throats of everyone in society. You need to pay attention. There are so many abusive American adults corrupting children in the U.S.! PAY ATTENTION. PARENTS DO THEIR BEST AND THEN THEIR CHILDREN GET CAUGHT UP WITH OTHER BULLSHIT WHEN THEY GO TO SCHOOL, FOR EXAMPLE.*
At what point do the parents accept responsibility for their childrens actions?
How? Stand over them all day while they use their device? Your argument is childish and lazy snd not thought out. Of course parents are responsible for their children, but that isnt the debate here.
@@pingamalinga you restrict their internet access. They shouldn’t be on a platform like that anyway. It’s 100% their fault
@@pingamalingayour a irresponsible parent aren’t you 😭🤣
@pingamalinga how? Uh, I don't know. Use parental controls?
Do you let your kids watch R rated movies? Or drink 21+ drinks?
Do you let your kid use the internet unsupervised without parental controls enabled? You don't need to be the Gestapo and watch them like a hawk but you could at least talk to them about it and limit the most offending content.
Not that it solves the entire issue nor does it absolve facebook and Zuckerberg from any fault but it's not a completely one sided issue.
Stop raising IPad kids and take some responsibility. Let em go outside and dodge predators at church instead of online just like the good ol'days.
@@homelander2243 And they use their friends device and do the same exact thing.
Man that apology was really straight from the heart. That moved me.
That lawyer just keeps interrupting, doesn't let Mark talk at all. This is beyond ridiculous
That's what I'm saying. The senator is childish asf
Ridiculous. He doesn’t need to apologize. It is the parent’s responsibility to guide and teach kids the right way.
At the end of the day, the hardworking, responsible and intelligent parents will perform better than their counterpart, and the kids will suffer the consequences of their parent's incompetence. Meritocracy is nature.
All major social media platforms have their data servers managed by the respective companies. These companies are responsible for sharing the data content they manage. If the control of adult content is not effective, then it is the responsibility of the platform owning company to make them effective.
This is a very uninformed and basic perspective on a complex issue
Nope... I don't blame parents... Remember twitch which used to be good for kids to watch their streamers play games and interact and then it turned to live soft pornnn... Bathtub stream, pool stream etc.. twitch instead of banning them, they used it and these women who did these streams got soo many viewers and majority of them where underage...
I'm not with Facebook here.. It's easy to say parents should not allow kids but how? You can't be that strict to keep watching them and forcing them not to do something will make them do it... That's how kids work...
Both of them are guilty in my front of view 😔
Looking at these comments I'm relieved I'm not the only one who had the same thoughts about all this.
They should also called the *NRA* to testify in Congress and apologize to the families of children that have lost their lives do to mass shootings.
If only they took actual murders of children as seriously. That really proves that it’s not about the kids at all. They just don’t like Zuckerberg for whatever reason.
It's still a parent's responsibility to monitor their children and check-in. I honestly don't believe Mark is to blame.
Why aren’t parents being held accountable for their kids lying of their ages when making their accts.
Cause Mark has Millions $
Why isn't Zuckerberg putting the safeguards in place so it can't happen in the first place ?
He knows this happening.
I do agree. what are safeguards you see that could be in place@@bigbrotherisasob
@@bigbrotherisasob Kids are _supposed_ to already have safeguards. *They are called parents*
Why are you blaming him for parents decisions to let the children get on social media
Exactly!
To be fair, you are allowed to be on instagram by their TOS at 13 years old. That should be 17 years old in my opinion
😂 bro his platform allows these things to happen. There are settings in place that are there for protecting minors and they are not working. Don't blame the parent they did their job. Mark hasnt.
, *Stop trying to defend Zuckerberg the democrat. Parents can not control their kid all day long, they have to work, and are not tyrants.*
Agreed.

Fortunately I have such a good parents 🙏
Thanks Mom & Dad 🙏🫶👨👩👦
He should ask the same questions to gun/weaponry manufacturers. Otherwise those parents should take responsibility to their kids
"Let me ask you this and then immediately interrupt you while you try to answer."

Parents should be held responsible for not observing their children’s online interaction and not restricting websites or apps from being used? It’s equivalent to knowing where your kids are at all times and who they are with and what they’re doing.
Why parents give phone to their children that's the main question ❓

I’m sick of these sham hearings. Ask legitimate questions THEN WAIT FOR THE ANWSER. Stop fishing for a gotcha moment.
This is unnecessarily contentious.
You are right. But that will only happen if the people being questioned actually answer the questions and not use lawyer provided fluff
It's designed to reveal cracks in management because the CEO can't respond convincingly under pressure. If it were a debate, it would simply go on forever. That is not the objective.
However there are cases in which the person responding gives competent answers but they just get talked over anyway. This is not one of them. Zucc has neglected his responsibility by treating ethics as just another part of the system you pour money into, despite people being at the core of the product.
So true. It’s a cheap shot for social media fame, ironically. Tech CEOs getting summoned to a hearing just so someone can ramp up a campaign with a viral video. “Senator grills tech billionaire. Vote for ___”.

That’s Josh Hawley for ya
Let’s shut it all down! Save the youth!
It's the parents responsibiltiy that their kid is not on social media and also instagram is not accountable for that, its the people on instagram.
Parents, monitor your children’s phone/internet use.
have to tell people now a days is crazy.

*Like tyrants, yes.*
The man who's just asking questions but don't want to let MZ answer pissed me off
He completely tunnel visioned on his specific question as if that would prove Zucc wrong, e.g. firing somebody isn't the only way a company can deal with things
It's the Republican Party in a nutshell (and of course the worst Ted Cruz sitting beside) to blame Mark Zuckerberg for harming children. Instead they should focus on what really harms and kills children - guns! - only in USA are the politicians this dumb.

@@ark14700 and honestly it's not anybody fault.
And hes in a position of making decisions. It is so nice to know that such mature, just, and rightful people are making important decisions for society. Isn't it?
You know the best way to keep children safe from online threats? Don’t let them use the internet unattended.
Poor mark could provide 100 settings to keep children safe but these meat riders would complain he didn’t provide 101 safety settings.
Kind of ironic that a politician is speaking about accountability and things that harm people; The people that work and "serve the people" in those buildings have created unimaginable and unaccounted for harm to far more people than Mark Zuckerberg ever could.

The parents should be blamed for not watching their children
Agree.....
You can’t watch your children 24/7. Would you plane the parents if a 15 year old was having sex?
Instagram has made this problem systemic. Blaming the individual won’t solve the issue. Blaming instagram could
Right, Stop blaming elon musk about stuff on "X". Don't like it, don't go there or let your children get on it.
Wow, the pictures of the family’s loved ones is powerful!
Which senator/politician did he fired after gun violence?
Not saying that Zuckerberg shouldn't be called to task, but it is really rich of Josh Hawley with Ted Cruz sitting next to him to talk about harm Facebook has done, forgetting he and other politicians have used that and other social media platforms to cause harm via polarization.
Hawley and Cruz are J6 Ringleaders. They should both be sued for damages
And they yell capitalism when it’s convenient when the companies are paying them enough to shut up
I totally agree. Im sitting here watching this shaking my head. Not only are parents holding most of the responsibility, these hypocrite Republicans in Congress and media using the very same platforms to indoctrinate, incite, and manipulate the masses with blatant lies and deceit without any regard to what age group may be viewing.
Haha the gov just want to take over the biggest social media there will be more and more attacks. But yeah it is a big blow to use the children for this.
Y'all may be over vaccinated...
There are dangers on every app .The speaker wants to blame the CEO of an app for predators on it,when predators are everywhere.
There are dangers on every app. Liberals want to blame the CEO of an app for racism on it, when racists are everywhere. Liberals about Elon Musk's "x"
I agree. There is evil everywhere. This is why movie theaters for years enforced the under 17 not admitted if the movie was R rated. Now children are being used for disgusting evil people's twisted desires and mark does nothing to protect these precious children. Is he enjoying the sexual stuff too? Life here on earth is short. Hell is forever.
@DaisySawn808 its not Marks job to monitor peoples children on social media
@@Rainnjones it’s extremely easy to set up parental control on a child’s phone, tablet and computer. YOU dropped the ball. Accept that.
Ive been scammed on facebook marketplace and reported all scammers numerously. Although I know Im responsible for the trasactions I made online, I still feel bad for the money Ive lost for trusting the platform. Money I worked hard only to be stolen by people with bad intentions. Facebook has done nothing with it. Not even an update with the action they did for the scammer. They only made a report button and then thats it. Makes no sense at all. They should be at least in partnership with authorities to mitigate risks of people being a victim to any types of crimes committed online. So in this case, for me the senator makes sense. At least being the one in charge of the platform, have the balls to stand for justice and integrity of the tools you are creating. Make it a safe space for all.
Mark should have answered who do you held accountable for the crime which us government did to the countries like Iraq Afghanistan or Syria
Children do not need smart phones. A " old school" flip phone works fine for keeping in contact with family and for emergencies. My kids get hassled at school all the time but my oldest just graduated number 7 in her class. My middle is on the honor roll and my baby is following in her big sister's footsteps.
These politicians have done more harm to children by catering to the NSA’s interests.
That's a strawman.
As much as there are problems with meta this isn’t one of them. Parents need to be more proactive about what kids see online and have open dialogues with them.
I limit my kids on screen time. They don't even have social media either. I don't want them getting sucked into social media and relying on likes and clout for their self-esteem. They need to avoid such brain rot.

This is like blaming the telephone company if a child stalker calls your home phone to talk to your children.
Not really. With technology it's very easy to put tools in place to make it less dangerous. Kids are on tech these days. If they're not using it with you and they might not even have a phone, they're still using it somewhere else.
It's more like someone posting pictures and a phone number in a bathroom stall and complaining when someone calls and harasses them.
Then blaming the dude who built the bathroom@@mediocreman2
Exactly
The phone company profits from selling services to known scammers who rob elderly people.
If he does something then they grill him for violating their first amendment.
The price of doing good is wisdom.
It starts with all the parents just throwing tablets and cellphones at their kids to keep them busy and entertained
How can you expect a Facebook CEO to monitor all content that each and every child consumes online?
All major social media platforms have their data servers managed by the respective companies. These companies are responsible for sharing the data content they manage. If the control of adult content is not effective, then it is the responsibility of the platform owning company to make them effective.
@@slwide7507so u mean we have to be monitored everytime we use any social media ? i dont get it.. like he is not responsible for this. he sell guns he didnt ask u to fire anyone tho. its the parents fault obviously senator from planet X.
The same way they already monitor all the content from their 87 million some users to sell to analytical companies and make billions? lol.
When they can give an appropriate ad which you were googling by AI , why cnt they do it .
@@slwide7507how should a company manage their content when they have billions of users, genius?
This is what happens when you don't properly supervise your child's internet usage.
Someone is going to reply to this all angry when it’s a harsh truth. A lot of parents barely know to use their own devices so naturally children will exploit this free rein not knowing harmful implications. Naturally most children will lie on the age sliders hence even if all the known children accounts are blocked effectively, neglected children will often still fall victim.
Agree.....Good Grief.....
His platforms are not places for children. It is incumbent on him to ban children from using his platforms and their parents to make sure they don't get on. No child needs a smart phone. Their parents should not be buying them for them.
This is TOTALLY REDICULAS!! These parents should be held accountable for their own childrens actions.
If your child has been harmed by anyone/anything online - YOU THE PARENT ARE TO BLAME FOR NOT PAYING ATTENTION. Smart devices arent toys, theyre tools. You wouldnt let youR 12 yr old play with your car, you should not let them play with FB, X, Insta, etc.
Parents are pressed by mortgages and insurances and rents and bills in this country to work overtime, and Scholls push mire and more for internet to be used, how and where are they supposed to control those kids, I'd they don't see them all day???, it's a set up to destroy the nation!!
@goodnewsukraine425 If you choose to have children you are responsible for that child - the factors you list are nothing more than excuses.
@@techgirl1337
The factors I listed, are regular way of existence in this country. Of you don't choose to have children, than you sign up for ultimate generation, if everyone will be like you - human race will cease to exist
Exactly, it is adamant that parents go and learn how to restrict and monitor their kids usage and get some basic computer literacy. You cannot have your child navigating a phone better than you and expect to monitor them.
this is 100% false how blind are you ?
This is like blaming a window company that there was stalker looking inside from the backyard.
😂 a good one
But what if during installation, the window company saw the single female living at the house and then sold the address to Peeping Toms of America?
@@jras8652 yea in this case the window company is guilty. If Zuckerberg is selling this data, he is guilty. But from this conversation this wasn't clear.
Stop blaming the businesses men! We're using these social media platforms by choice.
Its like blaming the internet in the first place.
He asked the wrong question, it shouldn't have been "Who did you fire?" it should have been "What did you do to address the situtation?" There are many people that have to work together to create the algorithms used on the platform and regulate it. Asking who did he fire is basically saying who can be made to become the scapegoat for an issue that is beyond their ability to address.
He purposely asked the question that way so that he couldn’t answer. This was all done intentionally to make him look bad and unprepared.
Perfect example of "certain people" not taking responsibility for their actions but instead blaming others. Priceless
These companies thoroughly understand the economic hardships of Americans under Biden's administration. They are exploiting the vulnerabilities of struggling parents/single parents and looking to get a foothold on our children. Trust me.... they are happy to embrace and mold our youngest... 😢
@@Rainnjonesits not zuckerbergs fault. whatever they won't find on instagram theyll find elsewhere
@@Rainnjones you’re so in denial. Parental controls exist for a reason. If you don’t even know how they work, you’ve done a disservice to your children. Not Mark Zuckerberg, you. He is doing what his job entails. You need to do what your job as a parent entails.
They told us this in the ‘00s:
Devices are not parents.
Blaming the wrong person here… parents have the primary responsibilities for their children.
Parents watch your own children.
According to this logic, cellular service companies should be sued too 🤔😂
Social media websites have the responsibility to moderate the content that is posted to the site that they run.
😂😂😂😂
@@Miss_Andry-
By this look, cellular service companies have the responsibility to moderate the content that carried through their service. Real issue is not being adressed here. We are just shifting blame to others and feel okay.
@@scpmichael4595 This thinking is inherently flawed. We aren’t blaming internet service providers for every bad thing on the internet. ISPs and cellar service providers provide infrastructure for a service, not the platform designed specifically for mass content sharing and mass social interaction. You act like social media websites don’t already have the ability to moderate their content, they just do it very poorly.
If we are just talking about child safety and not anything else, advocating for more parent supervision is a great thing to do! Yet there are still parents who beat their kids and neglect them. You fail to realize that parents are not going to have control over their children forever and in this day and age are going to find a way to go online whether the parents want them to or not. I’d love for things to have age verification measures as well.
I have ran into large amounts of CSAM, gore, death, rape you fucking name it on these platforms. They simply don’t belong on these sites that market themselves as just a way to share and enjoy entertainment.
The “real issue” can be addressed in addition to marking it safer online, not just for kids but for everyone!
Not only the children 😢😢😢😢😢
It’s not his fault it’s the parents
why on earth would a parent let their children look at this crap.
exactly, yet mark Zuckerberg actively caters and courts children to his website, thats what people are mad about.... if mark wants to have an 18 and over site, go right ahead...
Parents should be monitoring their children start blocking those sites not appropriate for children.
New platforms are put up every hour of every day. Social media for ‘KIDS’ !!!
It’s a crap shoot.
Or find a way to only have a curated selection of whitelisted sites available. Libraries do/did it all the time.
If your kid really wants to visit a new site, you can check it out together and add it if it's suitable.
I only ask where is the individual responsibility? If you feel he was hurting your children then why did you get the phone for them in the first place...why not cultural education to your underage children not to have sex rendezvous?
No place is safe now our days😢
Why are kids on these apps if they’re seeing inappropriate things?
Cuz their parents are working 40 hours a week trying to make ends meet. Why are you blaming poor people? This dude has billions. Hold him accountable.
@@bootscooty So he should raise their kids for them?
@@bootscootyNo. Zuckerberg isnt responsible for babysitting other people's kids. Its easier to blame the CEO (also makes you feel good), but these parents have control of what their kids have access to. They chose to spend their money on getting their kid a phone, despite being "poor," and kids do have a way of getting around parental blocks. It's not the governments responsibility to play nanny because "the children." Its mum and dads fault, PERIOD.
@@bootscootyI work more than that and I know what my children are doing online.
@bootscooty So parents struggling to provide for their kids have income to waste on tech that needs application developers to parent their kids for them? I say fix the problem at the source and have those parents neutered since they aren't responsible enough to raise kids.
I don’t think it’s Instagram’s responsibility to parent, or to enforce the law.
Agreed…. But in that same sentiment why is it responsible for what is and isn’t true? Why do they block/censor other opinions? I’m talking more Facebook here obviously but I’ve seen more than enough instances of this happening. Seen a lot of censorship from them lately. Zuckerberg seems perfectly fine with this.
Or share political opinions
@@StockTurboN20 sure, but that’s not what they’re being accused of here. That’s not why the senator is grilling Zuckerberg as if he made a playground out of rusty razor blades.
@@rando6836 sounds fun 😬
You think wrong. 😂 It absolutely is the platforms responsibility to remove all illegal content and take effective measures to rid their platforms of it. Cyber bullying and child exploitation is a crime, take effective steps to curb it or face the consequences. Its not hard to understand. Crazy it has to be explained.
I feel that shouldn’t need compensation, they need justice.
Parents are to held responsible for not guiding their children.
How can a parent monitor their kid when they themselves are stuck on the phones.
parent needs to work full time to support their children as well. Many families struggling on monthly payments. Many live paycheck to paycheck
@@lifetoeatandlaugh Then maybe sell your house to live in a more affordable one. Maybe look for a better job. Maybe get your children to work too. Maybe don't waste money with TV signatures, Netflix, Amazon Prime and other forms of paid media. Maybe dont't have more eletronic devices than you need. Maybe start eating homemade food. Maybe don't buy things that you can't afford. Maybe control how your wife and kids spend your money, as well how YOU spend it. Maybe plan your financial life.
People will create excuses for everything. What they won't create is a better life for themselves. That is why I don't even help anyone out anymore.
Maybe suffer a little, so you can reap a peaceful future.
Exactly lol
People defending Mark aren't seeing far back....these platforms are purposely designed to be addictive to increase engagement
So technically Mark is responsible however the way he is treated here is wrong definitely
Yet you people are on utube complaining.
@@Obinsfnubf447 you don't have basic knowledge. Poor you 🤣
Both are accountable. Social media platforms can and should do more. Parents, need to do more. Its their child…tell them no and mean it. If my parents told me no, and l listened and knew, there were consequences.
Bingo!
Parents need to be held responsible
The problem is not with any of the platforms. The issue is the allowance of exposure of technology to kids at too young of age. Parents should be monitoring what their kids are allowed to associate with. So the defense makes no sense here. Blame AI and social media all you want. But if you’re a parent take action in your home and not let your children become exposed to technology not appealing to their age demographic. PERIOD..
Parents need to parent. That's about it. You shouldn't let your child have a social media account without adult supervision. If these guys cared about the kids, where's the measures to prevent school shootings? The guy sitting beside Josh said there needs to be one door at schools. If these guys truly cared about kids get the NRA executives up there and grill them as well, force them to apologize to the parents, but that won't happen. EVER.
Wrong. Kids are smarter than You think and get away with so much without their parents knowing. I know how the internet works better than my parents and each generation will continue to get smarter.
@@babylips00 hence be a fucking parent lol
@@emmettlester739Good luck with that without being a weird helicopter parent that has to be by your kid 24/7. It's 2024, they'll always outsmart you.
@gfys756 Helicopter parent? Lol I'm talking about SOCIAL MEDIA. Not what side of the pillow their kid sleeps on. This new talking point of "they're smart". Your kid should not outsmart you at your old age.
Are you a perfectly morally upright person, Senator Sprinter?
More than you are , clearly
@@slavbrav69💯
It is not mistake of mark children and their parents responsible for this..
Ps.. it's not just teenage girls. It's boys, too. Let's fight for the kids y'all .... Let's do this
ya i was exploited when i was 12.. i didn't even realize anything they were doing was wrong till years later.
Let’s start with taking accountability for what we allow our kids to watch. Who pays the internet/phone bill?
y'all....ha ha ha ha ha ha
Parents need to keep their kids off of social media. My kids were only allowed to use internet with me in the room. As a society we need to quit trying to make everything someone else's fault.
I was rapped when I was 13. Still trying to get a record deal
It’s not his responsibility to parent other people’s children. It’s quite simple; know what your children are doing, monitor them. This is a lack of parenting, not a lack of online security.
why do we ban anything for minors? why not legalize drinking, smoking,driving, adult entertainment and gun ownership for everyone then let the parents decide if their children are ready?
Yep.....
He doesn't owe anyone an apology. Especially to those victim's families.
I hear you but parents are ultimately responsible for their kids.
Miss the good ol' days when there wasn't such thing as social media and the kids were kids and played outside instead being on phone or computers
Miss those day, too.
There was always good ole days. your parents theirs and theirs all the way back to the first written word always have said well back in my day lmao
I was born in the late 1990s. One of the last generations where kids could be kids, play outside until it got dark. People still knocked on each others doors. Everything changed since the explosion of the internet and smartphones.
@@pacman071 I agree with you 100%.
Unfortunately, incidents and harm also occurred in the good old days, except people didn't read about them readily 24-7 and newspapers and the radio were the only source of news.
this make me realize that even owning a company is stressful and if not, more stressful than a regular worker
You have to be 18 to get in the platform unless they lie about their age. As a parent you should monitor your kids. How is his fault.
He knew about it, he should have made safe guards to protect the young children from real threats of predators being online. With this grave of a problem lurking in a social media platform such as instagram, it should come with immense responsibility to block actual threats of pretadors lurking in it in every corner.
The parents of 37% of Instagram users between 13 and 15 should have a chat with responsible adults on how to monitor the online behavior of their children.
But they are not!! Children should monitor their kids so they don’t smoke cigarettes but some do not so that’s why there is a law against things like buying cigarettes under 18.
Perhaps, perhaps not , but generally I think too like that, because we shall to be aware , and take a serious responsibility on our children, to do not let them suicide themselves, it's so sad , unfortunately, we have to strive to save ourselves, and our children, and create a platform where parents will look strictly at what their babies are doing , I assume this is an answer for that , but anyway, those are words will not give dead children back , it's our society guilty , we have to first blame ourselves for that (
Rest and peace,😢
Was it really Zucks fault for these kids getting harassed? He just owns the platform. It’s not like there aren’t features in place to block certain users or even filter the content.
He has a hard position. Anyone who develops a platform that is used by a large majority of a population ought to have accountability to make sure they're doing their best to protect anyone who uses it. At the same time, malicious actors will also always be finding loopholes and vulnerabilities to exploit the innocent and naive.
It is a constant race between the platform architects and bad actors using it to stay ahead of each other.
Parents should absolutely have oversight on what their children are doing, but kids also find ways to do things without their parents' knowledge. We were all kids once before, too, and know this is the truth.
the tools are there they have been .parents arent smart enough/ too lazy to use them.
He designed the platform, they had no problem shutting down info of doctors( valued doctors) who had a different view then they wanted out their in regards to covid.
I agree they want to but him at the stake for a universal problem across all platforms for thier own egos and ability to be reelected. Its annoying and awful actually.
Well they wanna sue gun manufacturers? The guy who invented the nobel prize also invented dynamite and because so many people were killed with his invention he was known as the merchant of death.
I mean, just pick a side and be consistent really.
