Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologizes to families over social media harms in US senate hearing

Suffered and this is why we invested so much and are going to continue doing industry leig efforts to uh to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things that your families have had to suffer
In an unusual gesture during a US Senate hearing on Wednesday, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg apologized to parents whose children have been harmed by using the company’s online platforms. This came as one Senator accused the entrepreneur of inadvertently creating a “product that’s killing people.”
“I’m sorry for everything you have all been through,” Zuckerberg told family members at the hearing, some of whom held up photos of their children. “No one should go through the things that your families have suffered.”
Technology executives convened by the US Senate Judiciary Committee were grilled in a session titled “Big Tech and the Online Child Sexual Exploitation Crisis.”
In addition to Zuckerberg, TikTok CEO Chouzi Chew was invited to Washington, as were Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel, Discord CEO Jason Citron and the head of online platform X, formerly Twitter, Linda Yaccarino.

Try apologizing the other 3 billion people.
Since he has apologized, the law suits for damages are coming.
the platform still isn't safe and never will be
What family is this
Some people just get to lie about what they feel, look at his face, and you think he’s getting off the hook for all the copyfraud? I don’t think so.
He does not give a dam.
What? How was he responsible for? What your children do? Shouldn't you be responsible for what your child does? This is ridiculous.
How did he buy soo much land in Hawaii???? Building a ww3 fortris
😂😂😂😂
Can someone explain what's happening. I live under a rock.
A real apology would have stopped at "suffered." No excuses!
This is why we need to tax the 1% 90%. No one should be allowed to make more money than a country without paying their fair share.
"The good people" need to be smarter too.
They're not exactly angels either.
Please regulate these guys. Its about time they move slower and stop breaking things.
What program ended the day before FB started???👀🤔 FB is a government program. C'mon. He's just the face for their Marxist agenda to destroy, and control.
Imagine America with this kind of accountability for George Bush and Hillary Clinton😏
Parents shouldn’t allow their children to have social media accounts. It’s our responsibility when it comes to children.
Boo don’t apologize
You as people are the ones responsible for your online activities. Does nobody understand how to use the internet? 😂😂😂😂
How is he responsible? That doesn't make any sense. This is like blaming the mail man for delivering letters from bad people.

He said nothing while speaking
