Deep dives
Senators Grill Social Media CEOs over Online Safety
In a rare show of bipartisan agreement, Senators criticized top social media CEOs, including Zuckerberg of meta, for their platforms' contribution to child exploitation, the distribution of child sexual abuse material, and poor mental health. While the executives stressed their investments in online safety, Zuckerberg apologized to families who experienced harm or loss due to online content.
