It has been known for a long time that social media creates anxiety and depression among the youth.
not my kids cuz I limit their usage. you can do it too!
they don't have iphone they don't even have a watch. they can only play ipad on the weekend for a couple of hrs and they have to join sports team do their hw and do chores. i am mean like that.
why isnt banned already !!!!!disgrace
their friends ask "how come you are never online." 🤪
the problem is that the parents give the babies since they can hold a phone with their hands...and they blame everyone else
This is happening 10 years too late, so please make sure we do it right the first time 🙏🏽
Ohhh you mean the second time… they let it slide for 10 years. I’m sure nobody ‘profited in any way’ the first time.. ergo, a second go round.
To trust ONE of you is, obviously, debilitating and sometimes fatal.
@@kimberlyrogers9953 Since the year 2000, Chinese hacking activities targeting American corporations and technology have been deep and widespread. Every one of the Top 6000 corporations in the USA have had their technology stolen. This was supported by the Clinton Bush Obama and of course Biden govts as well the fbi and Wall Street in order to quickly shift manufacturing to China at the expense of the American people. Donald Trump was the only president to put a stop to it and all his measures were strict down Immediately upon Biden taking office.
Reports since 2000 confirm a pattern of cyber espionage, backed by the Chinese government, with the aim of stealing intellectual property, trade secrets, and sensitive technology. These activities have targeted a range of industries, including defense, aerospace, technology, and healthcare and the US water supply and power grid and internet.
The motivations are often attributed to gaining a competitive edge, advancing military capabilities, and economic espionage.
The U.S. government under the FBI and CIA have done little but raised cybersecurity concerns, and diplomatic efforts have been made to address these issues between the two countries. China stated they have all American business and military secrets and can purchase and tech companies who secrets they want. The plan now is to buy land, bribe govt officials, feed Chinese into academic institutions to gather espionage
Who are talking to? Zuckerberg is not going to read your post, nor will the senators.
Amazing they will go after social media, but not close the border
I mean, too late for that, no?
Tiktok should be shut down in the USA. It's VERY toxic!
It does not need to be shut down. The reason the social media is getting out of hand is because they cannot be sued. Once that is removed, they will act a lot more responsibility. The immunity is the reason why they are comfortable letting all these happen.
Why stop at TikTok? Because Trump told you so?🤣
I don’t think TikTok is toxic, but there are toxic people on it.
Facebook and IG too. They serve no purpose really
globally
Cell phones and devices are ADULT tools. DO NOT put them in the hands of your kids, period. If you want your kid to be able to reach you - get them a FLIP PHONE.
No its easier to blame tec companies than parent your own children
Steve Jobs never let his own children have a cell phone...
@@Smook3x6You aren't a parent,my minor kids have flip phones!
@@Smook3x6no shit! Parents need to do a better job
@@teresanewcomb442 do you know what irony is?
@10:00 "Kids Instagrams"? Are you nuts, Mark? If parents want to post pictures of their children, that's one thing. But giving children their own private accounts is opening up a whole new door for predators.
Yes , let's talk about who the predators are . Epstein , anyone ?
TH-cam did it
Kids have been had accounts man it's 2024..... like 10 years ago. Young kids always want what the older people are doing its simple psychology
@@BillyBlakeington- How about just letting them smoke cigarettes with the Camel cartoon like they used to and drink beer with the frogs and the Spuds McKenzie dog?
And that's what Suckenbug wants to do. This man is Evil, Evil, Evil,....
It's very simple, don't give the devices to the kids
They use them at school too. Libraries as well.
@user-kramer children and parents have struggled with rules, obedience, disobedience and expectations for hundreds of years but now there seems to be a broad trend of parents just letting children do whatever they want, good luck with that
They should
Happy to see both party's working together to protect children
Me too! This should be a topic that we can agree on
This is just a psyop
It’s about damn time!
They always use these hearings to run cover and distract from the truth. If Facebook and Google were doing something wrong it means the US government allowed it to happen as both are big US government and military contractors. Google and Facebook are defacto state assets. CIA closed their LifeLog project around the same time Facebook appeared. LifeLog became Facebook with a reptile brained front man of Zuckerberg to launder the CIA's involvement in its creation and control. Amy Klobuchar hates children or else she would not have helped over throw the democratically elected government in Ukraine creating the excess deaths of children and civilians in the region. This is all Kabuki theater.
If only you knew how total 🐂💩 this is. Our gov has No substantial budget…no Human Resources allocated to this and other issues. Pure spectacle.
They are targeting children and as meta always says it doesn't go against community standards to talk about child love (rape)
That brings up a question I hadn't thought about until now. When Facebook announced their whole Meta VR experience, who is going to be more interested and inclined to use such a service... Adults and parents, or children and teenagers? 🤔
@@terrapinflyer273 children
They sure as hell IMMEDIATELY shut down any anti-Democrat comments made by Conservatives yet somehow let SEXTORTION slip by….interesting isn’t it?
brain dead take..you then will be complaining about how FB doesn't allow free speech. Freedom comes with chaos. Orders comes without freedom. Pick a lane
@@terrapinflyer273 probably everyone if its good.
Sue them all too the hill, I hope this goes ahead. Accountability high time.
They are in on this circus, it means they can censor content they dont like or agree with
How about personal accountability? No one’s impressed by your outrage.
Minors should not be allowed to use social media.
Agreed, and yet puberty blockers are given to minors to irrevocably destroy their lives while a tattoo on a minor is illegal?
I strongly disagree they have to use smartphones phones aren't the problem it's famalies not discipline they're kids.
I agree👍🏾
good luck with that....
Word salad, they don’t care -“we’re open to conversations” in ways we can escape accountability
Why does it matter if any of these companies support the proposed legislation? They are private companies…they have to comply with the laws passed or face the consequences. You don’t need their permission or consent or support. Unless you’re afraid they won’t donate to your campaign…
If they consent then they can't get their lawyers to make loopholes like they always have. That's why these companies haven't been accountable so far.
Bingo! 🎉
People don't understand the influence that much money buys.
Meta is a publicly traded company. They (and others) have more sway over these laws than anyone in most cases because of the money they can spend on lobbying. These companies are needed to get other stuff through so they don't want to sour that mutually beneficial relationship by forcing this when it can be avoided. There is of course much more to it but that's the broad strokes.
The fines they pay for noncompliance is a drop in the bucket compared with the huge profits they make.
Looks like the old days Nice to see both parties agreeing !!!
90% of parents are way too easy on their kids. That parental consent thing doesn’t work because most parents just allow their kids to be on all of these platforms, at an age much younger than what would be legal, and because ‘all the other kids have it’.
Obedient raising is a thing of the past. Parents don't control for the betterment of their children anymore.
The government is dumping their failure to regulate and police American social networks on Zuckerberg for the actions of criminals misusing his software.
I see you just agree with blaming the victims and their family rather than the criminals. Typical American.
Should be child abuse neglect and failure to properly raise their children with solid morals and habits with faith.
If the “parents don’t know what to do?” take the darn cells away!!!
Problem is that schools are handing out fully functioning iPad to students. My 4 yr old grandson in Pre-K was given an iPad and it has TH-cam kids and other apps pre-installed. So even if parents try to stay vigilant schools also need to do
better
Totally agree with Klobuchar . Shut them down. These young business people are ruthless and have no shame. Worst part, they are not willing to answer questions simply with yes or no and escape into rethoric blabla.
They embezzled the masses too. Not only are they destroying the youth, they are robbing small businesses in America blind, behind the cover of the FDIC in San Francisco. Then, they pretend it's some sort of sex scandal.
It's greed at the expense of children safety. So criminal.
The irony of the younger person burying their head into their phone behind the senator seems to be lost on most….
Yeah it’s self defeating isn’t it?
Ironic isn’t it!
Taking notes or minutes.
The irony of thinking people use their phones only for fun instead of writing stuff down and answering important timesensitive mail.
If you live a simple life your phone is a entertainment device. If you live an active life your phone is your workhorse.
@@Itsallgoodtogo Is it really your workhorse your phone ?
Is it real work writing a message , texting ,emailing on the phone is that what "work" is to you ?
Next topic: REMOVE BEING ABLE TO SELL OUR INFORMATION!!!!!!!
Their is NO WAY to opt out if we want to use any app or platform!
Apps like Facebook are FREE, its your choice to download them or not.
Why do children have a device that has been proven to be more destructive than anything in the history of mankind. It's easy to keep the kids distracted than actually parenting.
Steve Jobs made sure that his kids didn’t have a device
True. I'm guilty of that.
Heard Billy Goats did too
That staffer behind her being glued to her phone and totally not present at the beginning of this segment is oddly effective.
lol, I took notice of the staff as well.
I agree i noticed that as well
You confront (and not only) them with true facts as how they messed up.
They start the answer with: "We always take those issues very seriously...."
Yep they take those issues so serious they've continued to grow
If these platforms wont do it, then the governing body needs to pass laws, and do what needs to be done. Don't wait for the CEOs. Pass the Davis Act.
Nobody gets points for “grilling” they get points for having a conversation that ends in a solution.
According to the bible some of the worst sins are harming children. Lock them All Up.
Keep holdings their feet to the fire Ms Klobuchar! Thank you fighting for our kids.😢❤ my daughters have been forbidden their children from going on social media it’s so dangerous 😢
take the phone away from the kid, problem solved. but parents don't want to parent, they want electrical devices to do the parenting.
I think you're missing the point completely. The platform which has consumed you is allowing this type of shit. That's a huge problem.
@@goeatsomesh1t It's literally the parents job to monitor their children. If kids did not have access until the age of 18, then we wouldn't have minors creating this type of content to begin with. Parents NEED to parent their children, take away their internet access and give them flip phones.
Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat, Discord, and many many others are for ADULTS. Not children. But since parents can't and wont parent anymore we now have ipad kids. We now have parents who want to show case their child instead of parenting them and protecting them. So yes, these apps should not allow this type of content, just as the parents of the children who create it should not allow their children on these apps.
@NeirCorvin it's also the teachers jobs though, right? A parent gets silenced for expressing concerns to the school board, but somehow it's only the parents fault for their behavior. Oh yes I totally get that parents need to do a better job and get their kids off the social hellscape, but then you'll have the teachers saying that the parent is censoring their child's feelings and social rights. You have to have seen what I'm talking about by now. How many times did you outsmart your parents and keep things hidden from them when you were a teenager? Be honest. There was a time when parents and teachers saw eye to eye on discipline and education, not so much anymore. So I still think social media is a detrement to society and a hazard to young people's mental health and development. I will not remember this conversation with you, nor will you, because it isn't a real conversation with a real person. There's something missing, the human part is missing. Hopefully one day it all goes away and people start acting human again, and you wouldn't have to worry about the various exploits occurring on "social" media.
@@goeatsomesh1t I understand what you are saying, as a teenage I mainly used my pc for gaming, Shaiya, and well...old 2000's pc games that had discs. I had a flip phone that didn't have access to the internet.
As a child I stayed at home and played online, I have lived a very solitary life by choice. This is based on my personality trait. As for teachers, teachers didn't parent me, they taught me the subjects I needed to pass the current grade.
It is not a teachers place to tell a parent if their child can or cannot use social media. Maybe they allow children to play on their cellphones during class these days? When I was in school we had to leave those in our lockers. I switched to homeschooling at 13 so I was essentially taken out of public schools. Because public schools were going down hill, they have only gotten worse these days and I am very thankful my parents put my education first over "socializing with kids" in a broken system.
I think you and I come from not only different times but entirely different lifestyles. Teachers were mean't to teach, parents were meant to parent. They did not mix.
The government is dumping their failure to regulate and police American social networks on Zuckerberg for the actions of criminals misusing his software.
I see you just agree with blaming the victims and their family rather than the criminals. Typical American.
Children are not being protected……..they are being targeted. The only solution is to unplug? Life is much better without Bookface!
Maybe, social media shouldn’t exist
@@arturolopezdenava ……it is simply unnecessary……most of humanity grew up fine without it. No one knows what the outcome will be on these young minds.
Yet you use it as you type your comment...
Parents are just as responsible as these media platforms...
Even more so, really...
Watch ya damn kids, too...
@@IAINTBLACKTHEN …….my only social media is TH-cam …….and soon they will be too woke to joke…..that is when I will leave for good.
Finally standing up to these tech oligarchs
Sure, wait till you find out about congressional theater.
Facebook CEO "We have our own legislative proposal" This is why everyone is sick the US government. Lobbyist and interlopers.
Wow how powerful they know they are,!!! They shouldn't have apps for children. Let the children go out and Play in the real world, the virtual world is an illusion
Shut down Tik Tok, and Instagram...hell all social media.
agreed. ESPECIALLY TIK TOK.
Not happening anytime soon.
You're on social media
That means bye bye TH-cam...
Amy K. : "The reason these acts haven't passed is because of the power of your companies". So im a small business owner and we are inondated with laws and policies that we have to follow so why do big tech companies, that affect millions of lives, make their own policies that benefit themselves ?!!!
Exactly and they have section 230 productions
each of these social media companies should be fined 10 billion
no way
Why, a couple are making changes and or have chosen to not recruit teens. This may cost them greatly. META has been an issue and has refused to do anything but start a 3rd platform aimed at recruit the next generation from using X.
The same reason yall wont put guards in schools but yall will hire armed guards for yourselves. Toooooo much money in it.
Schools arent prisons, cops don’t belong there
These kids are pretending to be adults and are trained extortionist. They exploded on the META platform. META doesn't vet their profiles and ages of people. I became a victim of someone trying to wreck my life and black mail me.
These CEO's aren't going to do jack squat because their making too much money and that's their GOD.🤬🤬🤬Come on Congress do you're damn job and pass these laws and the tech companies will HAVE TO COMPLY!!!!!
BIG PHARMA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS WELL
I love the bipartisanship on this. Social media companies are absolutely failing us. China gets a custom TikTok that promotes STEM and productive content. It's highly successful. Why can't we get that?
Yep they protect their kids... against drugs too, fast food... Etc...
The parents are to blame. The internet has always been this way. Blaming corporations is lazy
Frankly, the threats don't just exist for our young but for people of all ages.
Parents need to PARENT !!
Parents, "it's too hard", sounds like "I have a problem but i want someone else to fix it". This also applies to kids that become criminals.
We all have limitations. I always got A's in English, but always failed math no matter how hard I tried.
@@user-bluetopaz777 It's a little different though. See many parents I believe are unwilling to just learn. Like certain apps and devices give parents the ability to monitor the amount of time a child uses (nintendo even advertised this). It's not that they can't no matter how hard they tried but it seems like many parents just don't want to try and learn the tech enough to at least monitor their kids.
God bless everyone.
@@FeedingFrenzy91 That's true, you're right.
They don't want to support anything necessary and morally required if it may restrict their profits. Talk, talk, talk.
Exactly like one of the senators said yada yada yada that's all I'm hearing, he later called Zuckerberg creepy lol
Go Amy, rock on!
Why won’t these people be held accountable ? They never have been and won’t be either
Right. How many times has this dude been in front of congress??? Nothing happens. All gaga at this point. This is NOT satisfying the American ppl.
Why?? In a word, $$$$$$$$$!
Quick question
1. Who is keeping the border wide open and consciously facilitating child trafficking daily when we already have laws against both?
2. Who is trying to keep sexually explicit books in minor school children's libraries?
3. Who tried to get us to use the term MAP when referring to deviants?
Yup. There is a culturally decay being brought about that is then manifested on social media through the desires of the users.
@@rw7039Trust that the devil is Bipartisan...Silently rooting evil on while protesting publicly does not a moral majority create.

The dems sold us out to the cartel
Why are the law makers asking the companies for support to pass the bills? How about the law makers pass the damn bills?!
Why isn't anyone talking about parental responsibility in their child's access to online platforms?
Leave social media.
Pass it on.
Just to add: I was horribly depressed and burnt out by anxiety once. I quit three things. Drinking, smoking, and social media. My friends are few, but being around them is worth more than poking around on Facebook. Try to break away and see if you get the same results.
Children before profits!!
No sorrow for the loss of the parents!
😢
If any one sell drugs on the street that person go to jail. How come can any one buy online drugs and the online company and theirs directors don't go to jail,?
It's called a 'loophole'.
(Half kidding) But I always thought that lizard people existing was one of the craziest conspiracy theories out there…Then I watch Zuckerberg attempt to be a human and I’m not so sure.
Because he's one of the lizards
@@LeagueofWut nothing gets by you 🤣
Have you seen the video of Zuckerberg asked to take his jacket off on a TV show his a lizard for sure
If you look at old photos of him he now looks completely different and dead behind the eyes it’s crazy.
He’s Reptilian confirmed ✅
I remember the senator from Minnesota saying she wouldn't forget the business owners that had their businesses burned to the ground. They were forgotten and leveled
When the kid brought the gun to school and killed, they are charging the parents for providing him the instrument!! Aren't these social media tycoons providing the instrument that enables our children the path to their death? They definitely have to be regulated like we have regulated alcohol and tobacco (Children under 12 can't have free access to either, why hand them pornography and killer drugs?)
Thats not how it works.
I got plenty of beef with these companies...but this analogy is silly.
Age 12? Is that true? Thought it was 21 and 16.
Yes they are providing them the opportunity by lack of regulation.
How would you do that? Seriously? Would you be ok with government background checks before you make a social media accounts?
So crazy to see these politicians try to talk to him like he’s a human being who feels things.
Watch your kids. Stop blaming social media.
Sue the crap out of these companies.
For what?
How about quit giving phones to your kids until they are 16? And then explain all the dangers involved? Oh yeah that would require parental duties and then your kids wouldn't be your friends😪 We don't need more laws. We need people to step it up.
Like everything else, they don't so the gov has to do it. Families leave family members on the street, so shelters had to be built by the gov. People won't do what's right so thank God the gov does take action to do it. Not perfectly, but at least they make the effort.
Your kid's friends have smartphones. And they share.
The federal government takes too much power as it is. If the federal government would quit stepping in, people would learn to step up. If not, its called natural selection. @@user-bluetopaz777
Then teach your children earlier. Yes you can't monitor them 24/7, but if you give them a good moral compass, they may surprise you.@@LivingWithCognitiveDissonance
@LisaSmith-cv9md
You got that right.
We kept our kids busy with sports and church and household chores and AP classes. "It takes a village" though. You have to meet their friends and their friend's parents and family and see what their values are. And you have to talk together about your evaluations.
A really smart woman once said that when your kids are little, toddler age, you have to watch them every minute. Then, when they start school they they're busy learning their place amongst their peers, so you watch them differently. A little less. Then, when their hormones start kicking in, ya gotta watch them every second again until they mature. It's a lot of work, admittedly. But that's how you raise responsible productive members of society.
Jesus. How many times are they gonna get dragged in to court for THE SAME THING over and over before something is actually done?
This isn't a court hearing. This is the legislative branchg dumping their failure to regulate and police American social networks on Zuckerberg for the actions of criminals misusing his software.
OK. Put his butt in jail!
Children’s minds are a cesspool from the filth on these media sites. I blame the parents and grandparents too
Meta gave Zuckerborg a more human-like haircut, but they really need to work on the rubber around his "eyes."
All the power to you Ms.Klobuchar.from an old fan .
How about you all admit that social media platforms have expanded, so exponentially, that they're basically beyond your companies ability to actually moderate effectively?
They shouldn’t exist in the first place, it was a dumbass idea from the get go. Always thought it would blow up, and here we are.
Wow, Republicans and Democrats are agreeing on something!
Yeah something meaningless 😂 because parents don't know how to raise their kids 🙄
@@charlierose1708explain
Yep how to censor us all, exactly what the WEF wanted
Ultimately Parents are responsible. These clowns will do nothing!!!!!!!
They will do something once they are under liability for results from their social media.
God Bless our Childern ❤ Amen
Don't let kids under 18 on the Internet da
Not realistic. School makes it a requirement
Make it. Realistic
Finally!!!! An actual bipartisan effort without a drop of political infighting! Hold them accountable to the law and their manipulative tactics stop!
They just want to control these companies for their own ends. This is just grandstanding from some of the most incompetent, purely self-interested people. Try not to be so easily impressed and worry about your own personal accountability.
If parents would just watch their kids some of these kids would still be here today.
Children will find away , these predators are fully responsible, they know what they are doing , prison time is due
@@maureennewman905 My mom and dad both used parental controls on me as a kid, kept me off of shady sites. If parents were more diligent and actually used the parental controls then some of these kids might be here.
For you to turn the other cheek on poor parenting is just...wow. And yeah, there are predators online, thats why PARENTS should PARENT their children. Get it?
If a parents can't take away a device or use parental controls to protect their child, then maybe they aren't fit to be a parent.
The faucet overflowing and having a mop to deal with it is EXACTLY how I feel as a mom trying to monitor social media activity of my kids.
Why are the government requesting? Why cannot you demand off these companies who clearly have shown their focus is to make money.
The government isn't the ruler of all things. This isn't China
A lot of people dont understand that most social media platforms require their users to be at least 13 years of age. A lot of parents will just hand their child an iPad and let them browse these sites completely unattended. Can these companies do more to enforce these policies, yes. But the main issue lies with negligent parents. There are so many tools available to monitor what your child does online, but the fact that nobody is using them is shocking. Parents should be following their child's social media, monitoring the interactions they are having, and informing them about dangers. It is so much easier to blame the creators of these platforms than to actually take accountability for what your child is doing online.
They tell them the dangers. But sadly, its easier for lieing predators to get children to do what they want then it is for the parents to get them to obey their rules.
For all of these big money men suing them sounds like the best way to reduce these huge terrible issues against our children. Finally the senate has the right method. Please pass these new bills quickly. Finally the US Senate is finally coming together. The court is the only place they will have to answer the questions.
I gotta say this bipartisan is so nice to see and listen to
They are going to screw the American people
You don't want to know what's in the bill 😅
Where's the damn parents of these kids stop trying to blame others for your bad parenting.
Social media needs to have a minimum legal age, plain and simple
Adults or parents should know that & implement it
Regulations for big tech now!!!!
Senate has a choice: the Constitution & representative elected Government or Section 203 Corporate sovereignty.
It has been known for YEARS how corrupt these social media sites are. Yes, they all should be held accountable BUT parents are the ones who allow their children to partake in these sites.
PARENTS it is your job to parent.
YOUR JOB to provide your kids with the mental tools for the world.
Parents it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to hold yourself accountable.
You are waiting for the government to raise your children.
People still use Facebook?
What is now the newest thing to use in 2024?
Free anything is junk. Facebook needs to charge for their product. This is how they could stop so much of these Pandora's box issues.
The social media companies just reflect those that create and run them... indifference to serious matters and how people are affected by them.
Meta spams everyone.i said i love you to my mom who died and they said it was spam bs
Why do parents keep allowing their kids in these platforms? This is a problem with the parents. It’s their job to make sure their kids aren’t getting involved with anything questionable. Instead parents are giving their kids cellphones and not monitoring them at all. That’s on them.
Yup, and the cellphone becomes the parent, teacher, and God.
I was band for liking and sharing a video that the algorithm sent me. And the original video is still up WTF.
Love how Klobuchar ended this!
11 billions of dollars in revenues they won't stop their ways of doing business that means having dead kids in the process , no lawmakers will stop them ! 22 kids dead versus 11 Billions !
What is the odds of a kid life versus $ ? Please take your bet!
No contest there. Billions win.
Correlation does not prove causation try again
I understand that parents should step in and stop their kids from using the platforms but the issue is these platforms want vulnerable kids on their platforms and they di nothing to stop it. AI nowadays is smart enough to detect and block this content to children...but they don't. Its corporate greed plain and simple.
Exactly section 230 protections allowed them to facilitate a market for child exploitation for profit all while avoiding accountability and litigation
I strongly 💪 support the senators.....thNk you!
I often don't agree with our Sen. Klobuchar. However on this she nailed it right on. Thank you Senator. Respect.
He lied as usual.
i think it’s time to ban some forms of social media…
watching from Philippines
How is it that they can sensor speech but not illegal activity
how about make smart phones only for 18 and above as federal mandatory requirement and show proof of financial ability to pay the carriers monthly phone line service. and make the same requirement for every single app that can be accessed from a laptop, desktop other than smartphones.
YET we let harm into this country by the thousands daily.
Will something ever be done about predators like Jeffery Marsh who’s promoting KIDS to go no contact with their parents. He’s also encouraging KIDS to DM him or join the private part of his site if they need someone to talk to about the “how to’s” of gay sex. He constantly says he wants to be their new family now because HE loves and supports them like their parent never will. It’s absolutely brazen and mind blowing.
Yes, and he has tons of converts.
nothing comes from these hearings ... if it's a crime, have them questioned at the police station.
Does anybody else feel like Mark Zuckerberg can lick his own eyeballs when nobody else is looking?
Too many parents believe social media "ain't that bad."
