news on Capitol Hill today CEOs of the
0:02
largest social media companies faced a
0:05
bipartisan grilling during a senate
0:06
hearing on protecting Children online
0:09
and one of the most dramatic moments
0:11
came when meta Mark Zuckerberg was
0:13
pressured to face parents in attendance
0:16
and apologize cbs's Jolene Kent was
0:19
there how are you keeping kids safe
0:22
online why should parents how are you
0:24
keeping kids safe online why should
0:26
parents trust meta anymore meta CEO Mark
0:29
Zuckerberg along with a heads of snap
0:31
Tik Tok X and Discord on Capitol Hill
0:34
today for a grilling from lawmakers I
0:37
know you don't mean it to be so but you
0:39
have blood on your hands the Senate
0:41
Judiciary hearing room was packed with
0:43
families many of whom held photos of
0:46
their children who have died by Suicide
0:48
due to online sexual exploitation
0:50
Senators focused much of their fire on
0:52
Zuckerberg who was forced to apologize
0:55
directly to victim's families would you
0:57
like to apologize for what you've done
0:59
to these good
1:05
people he was testifying for the eighth
1:08
time Instagram also displayed the
1:11
following warning
1:12
screen to individuals who were searching
1:15
for child abuse material and then you
1:17
gave users two
1:19
choices get
1:22
resources or see results
1:26
anyway Mr Zuckerberg what the hell were
1:29
you thinking snap CEO Evan Spiegel also
1:32
aggressively questioned did you or ever
1:35
and everyone else at snap really fail to
1:37
see that the platform was the perfect
1:39
tool for sexual predators Senator that
1:41
behavior is disgusting and reprehensible
1:43
I'm very happy with the Senator's
1:45
questions they were very pointed um but
1:49
I was not happy with the responses for
1:51
Tammy Rodriguez whose 11-year-old
1:53
daughter died by suicide after severe
1:55
social media addiction Zuckerberg's
1:58
apology was not enough when he stood up
2:00
to apologize he looked right in my eyes
2:03
and there's no feeling or emotion also
2:07
in the room Shauna pouch she's raising
2:09
her 11-year-old granddaughter who she
2:11
says was sexually exploited on Snapchat
2:14
I'm very frustrated with listening to
2:16
the CEOs how many more children do we
2:18
need to lose in order for this to change
2:23
the next step is for lawmakers to pass
2:26
legislation Senators Durban and Graham
2:29
tell me that they want to reform the law
2:31
that prevents users from being able to
2:33
sue these tech companies Senator Graham
2:35
vows to me today that he will bring that
2:38
to the senate floor for a vote by this
2:40
fall
2:43
Nora really chilling to hear from those
2:45
parents Jolene Kent thank you so much
