Business Insider · 1y

During a heated Senate hearing on online child safety, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was told by Senator Lindsey Graham that their product is "killing people." Graham accused Zuckerberg and other tech companies of having "blood on their hands" and highlighted the case of a man whose son died by suicide after being targeted in a "sex extortion ring" on Instagram. The hearing also addressed the issue of online abuse and child exploitation on Meta's platforms, with the New Mexico Attorney General filing a lawsuit against the company for facilitating child pornography and soliciting minors for sex.
