Minors should not be allowed to use social media.
A thousand thumbs up to this! My thoughts exactly.
While I agree with that, for it to actually happen, adults will have to lie about themselves or give up personal information to get past the ARE YOU 18+ button - information which they may not want revealed to Facebook or any other site that would ask the same question to bypass the censor button.
Yes, parents should parent. I agree
@@AlwaysWankershim stop lying! or is it opposite day?
@@thomasmills339 I agree but these days the is internet everywhere. kids cannot get around it being there. maybe in their own house but its everywhere
Honestly I am behind this guy 100% because social media is out of control!!!
"You're on the foothills of creepy.". Priceless. There should be a compilation of the sayings of Sen John Kennedy.
There are on TH-cam.
So true. He is great!
He's an iron fist in a velvet glove.
He is a national treasure
Love senator kennedy he has the best one liners right to the point no. nonsense.
Not just the kids, they have ruined adults as well!!
na they have not
"Your platform has become a killing field for the truth." "Cesspools of snark."
Damn. Direct hit.
AGREED 👍
This explains twitter since Elon bought it
110%
@@TahitianTreatSkeetJuiceJrI honestly can't imagine being as confused about reality as you
so true.
I posted a picture of a squirrel with a superman suit on underneath of it. No caption no nothing. And Facebook said it goes against their community standards. I had to write them and they said oh OK it doesn’t. But yet when I reported my 87 year old Facebook account being duplicated not once but twice and it had pictures of her little five year old granddaughter on it- they wrote me back and said we’ll wait till she reports somebody stole her account! So you tell me Mr. Z what in the heck are you really doing because you are not doing stuff for the people safety or children safety. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Meta never responds to hacked accounts, I reported last year and I contacted California AG and Oklahoma AG and I made demand letter and nobody responded much and Oklahoma gave me a message from Facebook that didn’t make sense!
I was kicked off facebook for life for comments that expressed my free speech and conservative perspective that 'violate their terms of service...only because I wasn't on board with the narrative. I wear it as a badge of honor.
I love watching Senator Kennedy questioning people
No punches
Bored?
I love to see him in action. He is so analytical and straightforward!
🙄🍪 yadda yadda yadda
He's old but hilarious
"Mr Zuckerberg, you're on the foothills of creepy!" LOL!
sniffy sniff sniff
Cottage cheese got me...
Wait to find out what's he hiding behind the hill.
I'd say he's climbed up and down those hills many times now. He's got the poker face on always on. Think they never built a toggle for that; what up God ? I mean few people just need to come with a manual and remote...
They block anything that doesn't agree with their views
Exactly. FB has been heavily censoring and micro banning conservative content or people. Most my conservative friends were blocked from FB for nothing except expressing their personal political beliefs. They did absolutely no bullying or posting of anything that would warrant such action. Meanwhile I watched as many of my liberal friends on FB have their political posts shared constantly and aggressively, many with bullying content and even some showing very crude and violent depictions of Trump. But if you said anything in an even slightly negative tone against Biden, FB would block you.
And then we come to find out how much child porn and other drug and sex trafficking activity has been going on on FB, and we're supposed to believe that Zuckerberg and FB "didn't know"? That's hogwash. They have been manipulating their logarithms to only show certain content, and allowing much worse content.
YES FB sure does
this is everything now they are trying to divide us and its working to well
Whose fault is that? Facebook, or the assholes in the federal govt twisting their arm in order to censor Americans who have done nothing wrong, other than have the wrong political opinion?
9 FB suspensions in 2021. Things like vaccine effectiveness and Hunter Biden's laptop. But here's the strange thing. I wasn't wrong. I was suspended for being right.
A politician saying that actions speak louder than words is incredibly ironic
Passing legislations is action.
@@thewiseowl8804 so is taking a dump but either action can be very damaging if done improperly
@@Matt-id1hp What an amazing point.
these politicians just want to sue so they can grab the compensation money, they smell the billions
but look at the comments here, most are so brainwashed they think that parents have no responsibility and they can blame their failures on social media
Senator Kennedy is always spot on! FB is a WEAPON, period.
Who developed Facebook?
Why did DARPA cancel LifeLog on the same day Facebook was launched?
I agree with you.
@@jexy_marshall Why did DARPA cancel LifeLog on the same day Facebook was launched?
Kennedy is a trump puppet
If Zuckerberg thinks Instagram is not harming young people, His Elevator is stuck between floors.
Eliminate data mining & selling
If he admits that it harms people, he might as well delete the company, it’ll get sued into the ground.
These congressmen need to ask each CEO, under oath, if their school age children are on TikTok or Insta. The answer is “no” bc these guys aren’t dumb and they know exactly what it does and they protect their own children.
He knows exactly what it’s doing to people.
plus he stole the platform from his friends that actually wrote the program.
The way that Sen. Kennedy talks pretty much guarantees that nobody can take it out of context.
He is good. Walking meme machine that can destroy you quick
He may be the most just judge I've ever seen in a flesh and blood man. God bless and protect him, all of humanity should be willing to also. Anything less seems it wouldn't be human.
And it's great
Kennedy is a LOT smarter than Zuck thinks he is.
Lol... I've heard homeless people on the bus make more sense
“connect with people who care about you”, if you died, most people of those would probably not even notice and maybe even think you ghosted them
NO MORE CENSORSHIP RULES!
TH-cam included
I wish TikTok was banned here in the US.
Yes!
President Trump didn't want it here..
considering that lately it's being used to spread racism and hate through so called pranks i think it should be banned as well.
this platform is no different
yt shorts is tik tok, goofball
@@cedmo7857 I never watch the shorts on YT and why are you so rude?
It’ll be a sad day when Kennedy retires.. hes a national treasure
Will it be that sad though? He's just part of the old guard that's content to having hearing after hearing for decades, and never actually pass legislation.
He'll ALWAYS talk about how THIS TIME HE'S SERIOUS and THIS BILL IS GONNA PASS.
But guess where we'll be in 5 years time. Another hearing. No new legislation. Facebook stronger than ever.
Kennedy is a cool guy but we're LONG past the time for people like him to be in charge.
We need people who won't just say "We know your product is bad, tell us about it", we need politicians who will say "Your product is bad. I've just passed legislation against it". PAST TENSE. NOT FUTURE TENSE.
DO SOMETHING, NOT JUST TALK ENDLESSLY ABOUT FUTURE BILLS THAT NEVER HAPPEN AND THEN JUST HOLD ANOTHER HEARING.
@@KvltklassikIt’s not that easy, cut & dried. There are multiple people involved that set the rules.
No he is a bully
John Kennedy is the best. “Mr Zuckerberg, you’re in the foothills of creepy.”
Foothills nope Zuckerburger is near the top
In the beginning when FB came out, it wasn’t like today. Time to put stricter regulations on the CEOs that own social media companies.
Time to close the shit down !!!!
Parents need to take control and take away the smart phones from their children.
Kids would probably sue on grounds of some rights or other
No.
you cant expect parents to control children...... can you ?
Who are you kidding friend? Even though you are absolutely correct. The so-called 'parents' that are supposed to practise this responsibility....are ALL 'converted'.....ages ago.
@@user-ot6fk7vs3nthen why do you think it's the job of Mark Zuckerberg or anyone else to protect the children which their own parent fails to protect?
When you get 'Free Service,' that actually means that you are the 'product' being sold.
Exactly. There's no free coffee.
May be it’s time to regulate social media and platforms!
At least be noble enough to mention the person you quote.
I miss the 80's
i love this guy! John Kennedy your the best!
John Kennedy is a wonderful Senator, I wish he represented my state. America needs more Senators like him in office.
Agree 100%. Hawley also really hits home with those oligarchs. If the country did not have Durbin, Schummer, and those other vile, lying, treasonous swine in the Senate, we just might have a chance to save the Republic!
vote multiple times like the others
I’ll vote for him, send me a ballot. I’m in Australia but with all the illegals crossing your border I should be fine 😂. I love your senator ❤
YOOOOO THAT'S MAD FUNNY!
Old men's club.
thank you Forbes for providing these videos too us without bias, its a dying action in our media these days

I can't even cuss on my "own" Facebook page without getting banned for a week.
Bullshit. Why make up lies?
Calling today's social media a "Cesspools of snark" is pretty accurate..
Isn’t TH-cam also a social media?
The irony in this guy’s reply lmao
@@chrisjanes3032YOU THINK YOURE BETTER THAN HIM!? jk
Get rid of Tik tok
please before it's too late
AGREED! Been saying that since it started.
John K. thank you for being a person of respect and truth in a dark and difficult matter.
"I wounder if our technology is greater than our humanity" That statement right there hit the nail on the head.
Mark thought it was. In his stupidity. So did many of these “companies”.
Senator Kennedy is very effective in asking the right questions to expose those who need to be held accountable.
Yeah, and they ALWAYS deny it! Why do the best liars get to this point? They can't all be sociopaths.
Why isn’t Bill Gates up here apologizing for all the shit said over Xbox Live? Y’all will do anything to dodge accountability for your kid
He didn't quite literally the exact opposite of that. Its the whole "video games cause violence" argument all over again
So I am not completely familiar with US elections.. but Sen. Kennedy and Ted Cruz.. I have seen a few brilliant ladies as well who are excellent. How come they are never a candidate for the President ? I mean I hope I am not offending anyone... treat my question as juvenile.. But it leaves me in bits... Why or how did a Vivek or Nikki were in the race and these fine people were not !! Let me know please if you ever get a moment. It's breaking my head..
Ah yes asking if everything is “cottage cheese” is super effective lmao
"I think Congress is gonna have to help you." I was hoping JK's next line would be We're from the government and we're here to help.
🤣😂 good one🤣
So much “shuffling” in the comment section, and eliminating of comments
Eliminate data mining & selling
Oh shtt, right!
I'm from the govenment and I'm "gonna help you"
Yeah I heard that too, Step 1 to full censorship!!!
Yay Straight Talking Sen. Kennedy!!! Love you!!
I absolutely adore you, Mister Senator! You make learning about politics very interesting. Thanks for being SO ethical.
Way to go Mr. Kennedy! I never tire of your intellect! I wish it were possible for you and Mark Twain to chat together in a video..
You would be able to see an ai version of it!
@@user-ry6hy3vp1o A pale imitation, as AI always is.
I absolutely love senator John Kennedy he is so intelligent with so much common sense and he speaks with such ease realistically he reminds me of family he reminds me so much of my grandma who passed away with a similar sense of humor this man
Sen John Kennedy. Truly one of America's greatest heroes and treasure God bless SEN. John Kennedy
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
It's because his mind is not warped from the advance of social media technology that is running rampant today. He's got a good head on his shoulders.
It’s not so much intellect, but presence. The man is connected to stillness. There’s more nothing than there is matter, which is why his words are so powerful.
@@chandlerangol6718 No its intellect as well as the fact that his generation was never a part of the sales pitch made by these idiots on why we need their products so bad.
Kent State 1977 a professor said if you read article you should read 2 more from different perspectives..He is right.
"Cesspool of snark" Brilliant !
cracked me up kennedy said google laid off senetors in congress .so good he tells it so good .
What did he mean by that? (I'm from Australia)
Let’s google it 😂
I love the way these CEOs give self certificates to themselves...we did some research internally about our product and there is nothing wrong with it.
Yeah...
think about the old heady days when the tobacco industry put filters on their filter-less "products." Certainly changed the game. Not.
Yea, super valid and reliable lol
Is there really anybody still on Facebook? How embarrassing for them.
Not so much FB but the other platforms that meta owns.
We need to bring back vigilante justice…
They should go after google and all the data a collectors across the board .
apple too, just think of the message that pops up everytime someone downloads an app.. " allow 'app' to track your activities across other companies' apps and websites "
i bet there's so many people who just click agree or dont even think twice about that message popping up. shit there's even videos of a guy on his computer before he opens up a web browser, talking about buying dog toys, and then once he opens it up and goes to websites he is then bombed with dog toy ads all over the websites.. we could barely even be scrapping the surface of all these companies
Eliminate data mining & selling
@@xwiggens6741
Yes, totally 💯 agree with you! They’re always listening. Your scenario happens all the time.
Stop using their products. Simple
Like the government isn’t a data collector too 💀💀
These days it is our personal data that holds the most value, which is why it is the largest traded commodity in the world, and YOURS is available to the highest bidder.
John Kennedy should get a small part in a Coen brothers movie or something. He is such a character, usually hilarious, even in the face of deadly serious issues. His interrogations are always on point.
Justice ⚖️ finally
They keep pouring new wine into their old wineskins now thebag is BURSTING
Imagine how great this world would have been without social media
Seriously! People would be outside, meeting their real neighbors, helping the community, inventing things to help people in the world, getting exercise, exploring the world.
Wow did anyone else catch what he said? He literally said that not getting bribes from Google is the main reason, (its the first one out of his mouth), for all this hearing bs; NOT YOUR CHILDREN.
Ya we want people to talk about everything WE want them to, not the truth...but what we say the truth is...
We have investigated our self and found nothing wrong.
😂😂😂😂 EXACTLY 💯 👏
*ourselves
math was not my goodest subject.!....lol@@cedmo7857
Maybe all sherif departments need to send police reports to him. Showing the child disappeared after the abductor (adult) pretends to be an underage boy and plans to pick her up and she’s never seen or heard from again..
@@cedmo7857Woah
It's a good thing we got you here to clear up the confusion. I almost did not understand what he meant by "our self"
Your doing God's work by correcting grammar to random users online.
(Actually just go touch some grass maybe)
If these media moguls could be sued for their responsibility regarding the exploitation of children, then safety would happen.
100% true. Money talks. The behavior would change overnight. Literally overnight.
overnight
Nope. Tie things up in the courts for 20-30 years... continue to buy off Government officials to change the law while the cases are tied up in court... delay and obfuscate. Only PARENTS can protect their children. Sadly, feminism and social media have destroyed PARENTS in favor of the State (just like the Commies planned back in the 50's). Read "The Naked Communist" and tell me I am wrong.
No it wouldn't it would just drive that crap more underground which would make more difficult for FBI to catch creeps
The questions should be why they are totally UNTOUCHABLE and how the hell that came about? Society are skirting around the issue, as do these so-called TOOTHLESS hearings.
I'm glad I don't use social media I like to socialize the old fashion way face to face with people I actually know not someone hiding behind a computer screen.
Yes keep them accountable!!👏👏
Unless Facebook doesn't like your post and they send you to Facebook jail for a few weeks!
TH-cam TOO!
I love Senator Kennedy beyond words!!!! ❤
Were I a terribly rich dumb bass and needed to face Senator Kennedy, he tear me up up also. Wonderful clip!
am starting to see why god said respect your elders for their knowledge is abundance of life's experiences...they are breaking Facebook down in a way the world needed to see ...
Respect is earned not given just because you're old...
They do not care!
Yes they do!
I've dealt with these people in ways you wouldn't even believe me , They are classic enablers , If they make or allow the bad thing to happen so they can later use it to get control of something ,
Damn this was spot on. Same thing on TikTok.
Same thing on TH-cam.
Why are we letting these people get away with this?
Senator, you're the best!,i hope they listen👍.😎🌴🐊
It's more than time to hold EVERY social media and main stream media accountable for their actions and inactions in NOT protecing children and social media users & members!!
Simple just delete it, throw away your smartphones and get a flip phone with no internet!
Maybe parents should have already been doing that?
Same goes for Gun companies and the NRA. Go ahead and open that Pandora's box.
I'm with senator Kennedy all I hear is yada yada yada we do this to protect kids we do that to protect kids if that's the case then why does the exploitation of children on social media continue to rise I'll tell you why it's because these tech companies have facilitated a market off child exploitation for profit all while avoiding litigation
They shouldn't just sue them for monetary compensation to those whose relatives have been injured because of these platforms. They need to take punitive actions to the owners and employees that have made those things possible, either by action or inaction. If jail is a possibility, it's the only way things are going to change for the better. They have enough money to pay any sue, lobbies and lawyers.
These companies are absolutely countries. I am glad to see a senator saying this.
They track 👣 people all day to see what to send on their posts.
But they can't track to stopping and preventing children from being affected or hurt.
💯. That's what it comes down to doesn't it.
Even Democrats would agree a lot of conservative content is blocked these days, they have labeled almost everything "Fake News", most later proven true.
They track and sell our private information, they scan and block posts from conservatives immediately with no ability to have it reviewed for accuracy or ethics, and then we're supposed to believe they can't recognize and block and report child sex content?
Speak up don’t be shy 🙈,, Uncle Kennedy you Rock ,,!!!! We need more like him in government,,Logic thinking 🤔
Senator Kennedy ~~~~ BASED🎯
Shut it all down social media is not needed,we all have phones,call your friends if your that interested in there lives.

Priceless! Kudos to Senator Kennedy's informed questioning! "If you think Instagram is not harming young teens, you shouldn't be driving" he says to Zuckerberg! Right on! In a perfect world, we'd nationalize social media and sentence Zuckerberg to a lifetime of community service sorting mail at the USPS.
Nationalize?
I trust the Federal Government even less than these big corporations.
When a senior citizen calls you creepy
Right?!😂👌
Man, this is making me think twice about whether I should cancel my accounts with FB and Instagram. I know the reels are highly addictive even for adults and I can’t imagine what it’s doing to children
Lifelong liberal here. John Kennedy is a marvel. Loved this
Lifelong liberal.. meaning you still are ? so you agree with what's going world wide ? the woke mob, the depravity in schools and "grooming" (to stay PC on youtube).. if you want examples i can try but my comment will be hidden by the bot, just by writting or giving source to my claims.
but if you want to make your own research please do. MAP people love the left and liberal ideology.
Aren’t we glad we didn’t grow up with social media? Leaving the house and coming home when the street lights come on. Life was simpler.

@@bennykofoed2975 I did and I didn't. I actually thought for myself. That's no reason to bubblewrap the world. Understanding them and taking time to guide your children through these changing times will go a lot further for both the individual and society. Being overprotective only stunts growth, we're highly adaptive creatures.
Teach your children young and it will be okay if taught well
I would consider myself blessed if they did. The hatred in the songs and internet is lunacy. The right to free speech is absolute, but be prepared for the consequences from it.
I deleted face book and wanted to rejoin to view the marketplace ads. When I went to renew I still had my passwords seen my data had not been deleted as they warned me at the time, but when they wanted my Drivers License, I responded Why would I need to give you this if I don't need it to vote ? No Thank you I don't need fake book !!
They did not want your drivers license 😂
Hundred percent right what you do says a lot more than what you say
Kennedy is absolutely right about the "hot buttons." I noticed Facebook was doing that, and that it kept me in a bad mood. So I stopped using Facebook.
Australia sued them. A woman from fb said yes they conduct experiments through the users feed. To see if someone gets depressed or angry if they only receive posts that are negative. They treat people as rats in a maze. He admits in this video that they have done experiments and they should do more.
Thank you, Senator Kennedy...
"You have convinced over 2 billion people to give up all their personal information"
That hits hard because he is absolutely correct..
What do we do now?
It might go much deeper it could possibly be the reason why our children have been brainwashed !
you mean woke communist teachers union been lying to the kids..... duh for about 50 years now
naw
Because of the algorithm you can successfully manage your marketplace, but who knows what else it's capable of doing. I don't have Facebook it was invented by a child in the first place!
No, kids are brainwashed because the school system raises them more than their parents time wise!! Then they go home to parents that are often brainwashed too.
Love you Kennedy ❤
What a Planetary legacy does the honerable good old Senator leave behind.
Thank you, Sen. John Kennedy.

I left social media months ago I feel that it affected my attention span and found myself endlessly scrolling through the algorithm. Now I’m not saying social media is bad but it held me back from everyday life and having real experiences I find myself much happier now.
Same. I became depressed and overloaded with useless information. Much better living the real live.
Technically, TH-cam is a form of social media now too, so it’s inaccurate to say you “left it” when you are posting a comment on one of those platforms. I’m not trying to be pedantic, especially considering I am also commenting on TH-cam, but it is worth noting that this platform has suffered the same scrutiny associated with other media platforms censoring information, using algorithms to push topics that they deem fit your interests, and likely containing content that should not be available online (or anywhere for that matter).
Good for you. A truer statement has not been said. If you read my post, I said basically the same thing. Pushing hate and warping minds is not healthy.
You didn’t leave shit, you’re using social media right now💀
@@DryOut381I wrote a similar comment, but TH-cam somehow made it “disappear”.
