I'm gonna throw out a radical thought: HOW ABOUT NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HAVE ACCOUNTS ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS!!!
Why not
in Fiji we have been saying this for years to no avail....
Never gonna happen. Have you ever visited a po*n site? They ask you to verify your age by simply clicking "yes, I am 18" or "no, I am not 18". These social media sites will do just the same. This is a parenting issue, not a government issue. I police my child's online activity by using parental controls and actually engaging with him while he is online. He can't access Facebook, Instagram, TikTock or any other social media on his devices without my consent because I have a master password and total administrator privileges. It's easy to do.
I agreed. However they can create a fake account and pretend they are a over 18
@@conniele3770 Not if state issued licenses re required
Get all children off social media. Parents, take the bloody smartphones away. Don't rely on the government or someone else to do your job
Agreed! its so common sense that its no place for children.
They wouldn't have a babysitter if they took the phones away..
Good luck. They have to leave your house eventually and you can buy a used iPhone for $100 and run on WiFi.
Stop letting old people make up tech laws.
Too little too late
@@ClanToreador ya, I just started the trilogy 😂 great game U have commander
How anyone is using FB these days is beyond me. Stopped years ago.
shh, coast guard isnt real military
Fakebook, TicToxic, Instasl*t…they’re all toxic and poisonous to people’s minds that don’t like to use(or protect) their brain.
The elite and these businesses know that the mind is the most powerful thing we have. Corrupt and poison people’s minds and it’s easier to control and manipulate the sheeple in masses.
A critical thinking and smart mind is dangerous to those in power.
It’s Instagram
It’s also on instagram and TikTok and whatever other social media people are using.
Cool bro. TikTok and Snapchat are completely safe 😉
This is a parenting problem. 100% parents don’t want to have the difficult discussions or take phones away for fear of unleashing the wrath of their spoiled children
Exactly, my son will not be on any social medias or have a smart phone until he's near the age of 18.
@@CryptoPump610 you say that now, much like my sister did, when she had a son. Once they go to school and see all the other kids with phones its over man, but good luck
@@jimreplicantyeah so the solution is to give up and blame Zuckerberg gotcha
you got no responsibilities you are far too important for that
If you feel strongly about privacy then get rid of the Unpatriot Act.
I believe Mike Lee IS very opposed to the Patriot Act. He is one of the most Freedom-First representatives in either house.
@@alexanderhayward8505 They all are opposed or in favor of something. But we need actions. Thanks for the info.
Who drafted the PATRIOT Act?
@@LRRPFco52 little Georgie Bush and gave them 15 minutes to read it. In case you don't know he is not in office and traveling the world with the Clinton Crime Syndicate.
@@alexanderhayward8505 Yet he's advocating laws here that are very anti-freedom, and overall will accomplish far more bad than good. Just like the Patriot Act.
Now all we need is for our ‘statesmen’ to hold each other accountable just as fiercely as they are attacking these companies…
RIGHT!
They will all have dinner with Zuch tonight
No, we need something a little bit effective. Zuckerberg won't face any punishment and he'll donate a few hundred million more this year to propping up Biden.
@@CP-os1pcI wouldn’t be shocked at all…..
the companies are evil though tbh, they sell or get peoples data stolen; they don't care
Okay but there’s no way to keep this crap from happening, we all know the best thing to do is get rid of these crappy apps and finally put predators in jail for life.
Exactly for life.regardless of the crime. Even if they're only looking at images or videos online. These people ALWAYS escalate,and will allways be a danger to society.
As someone who works in cyber, this is why America is fucked. You think there’s no way to get rid of this when literally Europe, China, and Japan do. Our policies are so nonexistent that virtually anything is possible in the US.
How about PARENT your kids? Social media shouldn't raise your kids by itself.
Exactly my thought.
But they admittedly target kids. Also would you say that if a kid was molested,or groomed in a public place like school or church? If you host spaces virtual or physical that allows children ,you are obligated to keep that space safe. A one or 2 off situation is one thing. But there is an epidemic of this stuff. Not too mention a child doesn't have to have social media to be a victim of trafficking and have their images passed around in these sites. That's part of this hearing too.
Bravo!!!
When stupid and rich collide
collide or collude? There's more than a little collusion at play here!
Just as in every other evil aspect...no consequence...no justice.
Imagine if parents decided to be parents, that'd be crazy right? take some responsibility of your own and stop passing it off to others who have never met your kid.
The pathetic preening and grandstanding by these Senators is nauseating. Pass these bills into law- stop the slow walking of this and put some teeth in it.
Even as an outsider but parent I cannot agree more. This 'blowing bubbles' at these types are getting NOWHERE fast. Will it take good folks, parents, to go there...and drag them out to leave a clear message? I think so.
Actually, this committee has passed, on a bi-partisan basis, 5 major pieces of legislation to address these issues. The problem is that Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, who controls which bills come before the full Senate for consideration, has refused to allow ANY of these bills to move beyond the committee. And the truth is all of these bills would pass the Senate if allowed. So part of the reason for these hearings, and for the grandstanding, is to put pressure on Chuck Schumer to allow these bills to be taken up by the Senate. The House has already indicated they will pass ALL of these bills as soon as the Senate does so.
Schumer's daughter works for Facebook. So there's that........
Parents need to be parents and stop blaming what their children see and do on others.
They gotta be careful because the people that are talking to are the ones that might have got some of them elected.
It's interesting that at a hearing about the dangers of social media that half the people in the room have their noses stuck in their cell phones.
I agree, but to side with big tech for a moment in how they let humans do what they're gonna do is a freedom they are taught.
Like if god existed, they have to manage people all the time and let wrongdoers do wrong. 😕
Intervening on everything online would make the internet like a North Korean dictatorship.
Whatever happened to the FCC ? We seemed to have no problem keeping pornography and pornographic speech off the airwaves in the past .
The FCC can address the noneconomic First Amendment concerns regarding the exchange of information, and the FTC can address the economic concerns. The FCC has the oversight over the ISPs and the FTC has the regulatory and enforcement experience that would best ensure Net Neutrality.
The internet is not regulated by the FCC. The FCC only regulates radio and television. The problem with the internet is there is no 1 group that can control it unless the do what China does (we don't want that system)
@@2K9s that sounds like the problem.
Short answer, they've been bought and paid for by the companies they're entrusted to regulate. Just like the rest of our regulatory agencies these days.
@@2K9sthe FCC has no authority over the internet. Their authority is over over-the-air communications and technology.
5:56 in dude in the back left adjusting. 😆🤣😂
😂😂
mr bohls firstname schwetty
They are using (blaming) A.I. which was written by them. Makes sense...
Yes Senator Lee, there IS a way to restrict your kids from accessing dangerous content.
BE A PARENT and tell them NO!! Don't PAY for the plans that allow them to go on Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok.
Novel concept I know, but many have said including Senator Hawley, the sites ARE dangerous, so WHY would ANY parent, allow their child to access something they KNOW,
is dangerous?? The government can pass all the laws they want, but in the end, it is up to PARENTS to care for their children.
Unfortunately there are many parents out there who shouldn't be parents and see no problem handing their 3-6 year old an iPad and letting that raise them. I can't even imagine the damage it's causing them. Especially if they find adult content.
Honestly it’s just the government trying to take over the role of the parent or a bud to end encryption but it is definitely not about “helping anyone”
Think of them more like a store having to check for ID for alcohol.
do you pay for access to social medias? 🤔
@@Dr.Gainzzz You can tell you're definitely over 50. My children 2 and 5 use their ipads alot. they certainly dont 'raise' them, but technology is such a huge part of the globe if we stop our children using hardware (ipads, laptops etc) we are HOLDING THEM BACK. Im 29 and when i was leaving high school most of the junior school started doing there schoolwork on laptops. If we refuse our children these same fundamental hardwares we are going to delay them. Restricting their access to media is the key.
Maybe we should teach our kids how to have a healthy relationship with social media and the internet and stop projecting our failures onto media companies?
There is NO “healthy relationship with social media and the internet”.
Social media subconsciously makes us compare our lives to the lives of others. Comparison is the thief of happiness/joy. Is it any wonder why people are more mentally/emotionally screwed up than ever before?
Use your brain and think! It’s not hard to see how poisonous this stuff is to EVERYONE(not just children) if you’re really paying attention.
Go read some articles on the negative psychological impact these things have on people of all ages(especially kids) and you’ll be singing a different tune.
Social media is just as poisonous to our minds as p0rn is. That’s a scientific and documented fact.
Read up on it. Plenty of information out there if you do even some light research.
But it's not working, is it? We are trying to teach them, warn them, but it's not working. I would make analogy with smoking. Or giving them a high powered motorbike at 10 years old. The product is just harmful. And its not age appropriate.
There's no such thing. Especially with young minds. That's like saying have a healthy relationship with alcohol when you're a kid.kids don't belong on social media. And if fuckerberg and the rest want to target kids,they should be obligated to host a safe space for them ,just like any other physical space,or they'd get sued. Not to mention kids are trafficked then hav e their images disbursed online in the sites. And those images do not get taken down in a timely manner. Shouldn't be on there to begin with!
Parents taking responsibility for their failures? Never!
This is a very “simple” response. Learn critical thinking.
All of this can be easily fixed by simply allowing these social media giants to be sued
They'd go bankrupt.
you wanna let individuals who can find anything triggering sue a company ? do you think mobile companies who make phones and who give you access to "call and receive " others should also be sued if someone does something bad using these tools ?
@@olderbadboy those phone companies are not then protected by another law that allows them to listen in on your call and if you are saying something they don't like disconnect you.
AGREED, the only way to get some entities attention is to remove a lot of money from their access all at once.
Imagine a world without FACEBOOK. As a millennial, I can live with that. But the gen zs and the gen alphas - They will commit suicide.
I’ve never seen a hearing where both sides seem to have the same opinion, until this.
Big tech has no sides . They have allowed to much crap to happen.
Huh
Both sides are ALWAYS agreeing when the goal is more govt control.
@@bretthogan5805 you realize the only reason zucks legal team is agreeing is because they have to? Then they turned around a continue lol
Because they are in on it together. The bill will probably just hurt the people. Any time the government gets involved in things it makes it worse. I/E public schooling.
If you just have a tag on all these posts that reads "Conservatives" then these companies will be proactive in removing all of them swiftly,and avoiding these absurd hearings where they all use the same canned responses to questions.
Mark Zuckerberg: "What do you mean juvenile? " that question alone is like saying you don't know when the age of children begins and ends at all.
I'm 53. I've never used social media and I don't miss it!!!
TH-cam is social media
I'm surprised these children can afford smart phones without any input whatsoever from their parent.
If parents could be fined when their kid is found to be accessing restricted sites you'd see a change in behaviour real quick.
The parents are responsible for their kids actions if they hand them the device.
A lot of parents use smartphones to keep track of where their kids are for safety/accountability/location.
@@LRRPFco52 this is an excuse, there are AIRtags and GPStags that can be used instead. Along with phones with no access to internet apps that can call and text only
😂 hey....these are the same answers Mr Zuckerberg has given the last FOUR hearings. He could just send a recorded tape for his answers as they're always the same...hearing after hearing. 🙏❤🇺🇸
Shame on him, he has children also!
Well he is a reptile so…
This is America
Exactly! 🤘
He is the dorkiest and nerdiest record player I've ever seen.
All these social media CEO's should be doing the morally correct thing already. Shouldn't need to be laws for common sense.
We don't need more laws. Parents need to parent their kids.
They have no morality, just the money matters to them...
The Discord guy looks exactly how you’d imagine
😂I thought exactly the same!
Beat me to it 😂
Amish??
You mean someone who is smart and invented something big, and makes millions, while you're making TH-cam comments.
Lol that's exactly what I was thinking. 😁
Listening to zuckerberg is like self-harm. No disrespect to the families who've been gravely affected by zuckerberg's greed.
How is the family’s grief his fault when the family aren’t parenting their kids properly? You leave the platform to parent your kids for you?
Wow, no wonder America is so backwards now!
That's seriously ridiculous. Facebook is a platform that enables people to communicate.
How people act is ultimately up to them. Do you see the government being able to stop all crimes?
Plus, Facebook is a free app. It runs on ad-revenues. At their scale, there are limits to how much they can monitor things.
Do you really think that people care about children when they fight for open boarders
Protect Act, Shield Act, Child Act...Sounds like typical congressional bureacracy.
I just hope they pass SOMETHING!
How are they going to stop this completely? The only way is to totally ban all the images.
Celebrities sure can get stuff removed from sites quick, fast, and in a hurry... weird that things that are causing children to lose their lives carry less weight and are aloud to be spread even after being reported.
Hey, it`s pretty cool when one side stops to hear the other. Sounds like humans having a dialog
Only when they could benefit from it.
I think that's the most expression I've ever seen Zuckerberg ever had.
This is ridiculous.
You can't control social media 100%. You couldn't control mailing back in the day either. Why do we all have to be surveilled so you can try and reach this impossible utopia where kids are 100% protected from life? Why not focus on GOOD PARENTING instead?
I love Mike Lee so much
Many companies make me go through a pre-approval process to utilize my veteran status for discounts and such. If lowes has a system to ensure I am eligible for a 10% discount, why can't these companies ensure kids are not on sites that they shouldn't be on?
Because it would be impossible to be verify 100% while you still want to keep privacy also maybe parrents should try to be parrents and parent .
But again it's america blame everything on everyone but yourself.
They can and choose not to. You thinking they can’t means they’ve manipulated you just they way they wanted to.
My kid was on discord when he was 11. What the hell are you talking about?
Mike Lee is a National Treasure!
Here's an idea, how about parents take the initiative and stop giving your children smartphones. If they need a phone, how about a flip phone One that doesn't have a screen that they can take pictures with be on social media with and everything else if they are not at least the age of 16 they do not belong on social media. They don't belong online at all except for doing school work and research for papers and things like that. That way you're not inviting predators into your child's portal to the world.
I agree, but currently parents face two choices: socially isolate their child or buy them a smartphone. Nearly all, understandably, choose the latter. They don't want to. They are forced to by the environment. The only way to end this is to change the environment. That's what have government for, to help us solve collective problems. The solution is to ban smartphones for children
So just ignore that meta’s algorithms promote child harm? Ignore that engineers there know and allow it? Odd stance.
@@Beenhereawhile1001 absolutely not! But it is on the parents to make just as sure their kids are safe and if that means not giving them smartphones until they are mature enough to handle the responsibility, so be it.
@@neanessablackwood4837 weird being more upset at parents who had no idea this was even a thing than the engineers and companies who promoted it.
@@Beenhereawhile1001 who's upset? 🤣 I'm just saying jeez... We agree ffs so why u coming at me bro?! 🤣
"What do you mean, juvenile?"
Lol what?
important to define, could mean pre-pubescent or under 13
@@raneanubis lol, I understand that. But It is an odd question for Zuckerberg to ask.
Like he doesnt know
He's been roasted well 😁😁😁
It’s crazy to me how little Congress actually knows about what they are trying to monitor or filter or keep children safe from Congress doesn’t have a clue what they are talking about.
This is all theater,
They will ALL go have dinner and drinks together afterwards.
Wake up people, They do not work for you, they work for them!!!
You are mostly correct. There is a few decent conservative left though. There is zero good democrats
Them being ?
I think I know but please clarify !
Just wanted to add from my xp; to anyone who's ever been a victim of cyber hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race : DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred and compulsive anxieties later on. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: maybe if I was as everybody else I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. I've always had androgynous look, which was a real fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games :)
Okay...
I've been a victim of actual assault and it's a million times worse and nobody hears about it
Refreshing to see Senator Mike Lee knowledgeable about social media and technology in general when so many in congress have no idea what they’re talking about
We are mere visitors passing through life on this planet. How sad when people who live in the egos of their mind think money, power and greed reins above all that is good. Very sad indeed. ❤️
Parents, get a clue: take away your kids' phones, and only allow internet access out in the open.
I have PTSD from listening to Zuckerberg.
Tragically, despite the bullying of tech executives by Senators, responsibility for children remains with their parents.
Politicians always think more laws are the answer.
They are wrong.
Zinggg
That’s how you do it😊
You destroy technology in the name of narcissism
These two kids…😂
I can’t stop laughing!
where are the parents in all of this?? There will always be evil things in the world we cannot cannot control, but we can parent our children and give them time and attention so that they learn what is evil and what is right and have self control and discipline 😮
Mr. Zuchy, just stop selling pedo accesd or close Meta, you have 24 H!
Bye bye!
"How's that going"
Zuck: * scoffs in billionaire lizard
why restrict and not just remove it completely. They need to just remove it entirely or get sued.
Our response to criminals is zingers. Then we applaud ourselves while they continue on with whatever they were doing. People are braindead. Society is braindead.
With all due respect to congressmen, but some of them need to level up their knowledge regarding those platforms. Also YT recommends a LOT of trash to my kid and there's little I can do about it and YT does not seem to be target by this hearing.
Keep your kids off of TH-cam. Solved
Hiding behind "saving the kids" to destroy internet privacy is crazy
If the Internet were transparent, there would be far less people hiding behind anonymity.
This 100% a parenting issue. They cannot control their kids and expect everyone else too!!!
Yes 2:34 it takes so MUCH time it's disgusting thank you!
At which point do we hold parents accountable for providing children access to the internet? Why are we not discussing the fact that children are being granted access to smart phones before they are old enough to make good decisions? If the GOP wants to criminalize abortion then they should put effort in fostering and educating parents to be aware and present.
👏👏👏👏👏

@@gtholder It isn't a collective problem. It's a parenting problem.
@@gtholder100% agree you only have to see the decline in society as a by product of social media raised to before the invasion.
@@gtholder I appreciate your opinion. Both choices come with negative effects. The question is which one would you rather have your child deal with? A device that is scientifically proven to cause addiction, disrupt sleep, exposure to porn and other inappropriate content, access to pedophiles..... or have them feel like they are not cool because everyone else has a smartphone?
the discord dude looks very creepy
looks like a typical discord admin
Just blaming social media not the people abusing it
Here’s another radical idea… well, two of them:
1. Heavily invest in public schools and education, and make all kids attend extracurricular activities each evening and Saturday so they don’t have too much time to be bored, and eventually bring back British-style boarding schools and French-style “internats”. Mandate media literacy, rational use of the Internet, logic, rhetoric, geopolitics and IT in all public schools. Ban smartphones and social media within said schools and allow kids to go only on a school intranet for educational, vocational and professional purposes.
2. Introduce a birth-giving permit and parenting license.
I think the first one is more realistic and constitutional.
All jokes aside… You just can’t expect corporations to “self-regulate”. History shows us they won’t. The government needs to step in sometimes.
I’m glad even the Republicans are starting to slowly get that. But the question is how much will those corporations lobby so that lawmakers keep their mouths shut.
Pornography should be banned. If we want our country to survive we have to draw the line somewhere. And it's obvious that pornography has had a very negative effect on our society and children
😂😂😂 specislt on yu.
Just ban this shit. People have become zombies 😅
Yeah, because totalitarianism is so much better than social media
Why doesnt law enforcement do something about this activity. Its already a violation to post that stuff.
Lawmakers have a point, but i don't think they know how the internet works. Images are permanent and forever.
A whole lot of nothing from some senators that will do absolutely nothing after these hearings. What a useless display of political theatre.
Like real issues are more important. Like the border crisis, the war, Drug Use
For once, the Left and Right are coming together because it’s regarding children. Love to see it.
lol you actually think they care? Holy shit
@@FirstZenGate GYM JORDAN DOES😂😂😂
They're using the children as the excuse for more govt control. It's so obvious
We should be able to sue them if they have destroyed our lives by the things they are doing
They have no problem keeping other things from being shared, this topic is why they fight to keep good guys out of power
Just put him in prison already...
Why 13 years old, why not 18 years old!
Rise the age to 18 years old !
Ummm… anybody catch 3:58 ? Discord says their ability to respond to law enforcement requests is more important than user privacy. Police state anyone? The government that ostensibly serves the public interest has coerced these companies into handing over full conversations upon request. (Do they even *ask* for a warrant? Have such warrants *ever* been denied, if Big Bother bothers with them anymore?) It would appear that government overreach is so extensive that it doesn’t even come across as odd, anymore.
The roast of Mark zuckemberg 🔥 😂
It’s hilarious
How about banning pornographic images altogether? Problem solved.
They don't have pornography image in Facebook book I have seen many women in bikinis in insta but is there porn is Instagram??🤔🤔
Land of the free
All porn should be banned and be illegal from all media platforms,
You want to ban consenting adults from creating content or media for other consenting adults? Good luck with that.
Zuckerburg.... "I believe..." You should know you plank!
It's like having the Villans from Batman in front of a Gotham City Politicians. We're fucked
And they all play on the same team! Awesome!
The way the Discord guy explained it someone being groomed would have to register a complaint with the company for it to act. In other words, grooming is permissible to them unless a victim asks for it to stop. What a disgrace!
You have no idea what you're even saying. He is stating that further tools are being put into place to offer MORE options to allow those who are underage to report potential grooming situations / weirdos.
Your point is literally incomprehensible
@@SaintRubicon Spoken like a groomer who would like to obfuscate the problem.
This is so stupid. Parents aren't accountable for anything anymore. Pass the buck and point the finger.
Childhood sexual abuse, parental neglect & indifference ruin lives of victims for their whole life. We need to have people in each stake trained to help & heal. For me it's been 70 years, still struggling & not feeling any belonging.
This is the ONLY productive conversation coming from a politician in this hearing
Applause! Wow, that's nice. Is this a movie set?
How mark is missing the point is mind boggling and disgusting to say the very least.
As a parent of two girls, they are not allowed to go alone to any place that I deem inappropriate or dangerous for them. That includes social media. It is my responsibility to keep them safe.
What timestamp is the appaluse?
I don’t want to need to give my drivers licence to have an account that just gives a hacker every last detail about me
Now all we need is parents to actually be responsible and be good parents and we’ll hopefully be on the right track
How about implementing a law that criminalizes both explicit content and any associated materials to address concerns related to pornography?
"the science" haha!!
What about tax that the men pay , I'm pretty sure , they will never returned back because the money is not clean money, because all the victims
Everyone should have the right to easily ask all tech companies to permanently remove their data !!! The second thing is tech companies must not be able to store any data period after removal request Deleting an account and removing stored data should be easy to do, that’s not what is happening now.
Blah... blah... blah... and nothing is changing.
All they can do is talk and nothing will come out of this. No actions just talk. Blah... blah... blah...
It doesn't stop until these CEO's go to jail. This is all BS on the part of the tech companies. Fines are simple tax deductions. Fine them, but send these CEO"s to jail FIRST.
Let's make it simple: no one under 18 should be allowed to use any of those platforms. Parents should supervise their kids' devices. Internet Service Providers should offer more parental parameters and platforms should be held accountable if they allow minors to use their services illegally.
