Mark Zuckerberg saying sorry to parents for their bad parenting. It's the parent's mistake as they are incapable of parenting and expect social media to raise their kids responsible. But unfortunately Facebook failed and so now irresponsible parents are suing Social media giants so they can take early retirement.
Apology for what exactly
Ask ZUCKERBERG if HIS CHILDREN ARE ALLOWED ON HIS "SAFE SITES"
DO YOU BLAME THE MERCEDES FOR THE CAR CRASH OR THE DUMB DRUNK DRIVER DRIVING IT ? DO YOU BLAME THE FAST FOOD CHAIN OR THE QSR FOR OBESEITY OR THE FAT PERSON CONSUMING THE STUFF?
Right on
Wow this actually made me feel bad for Mark Zuckerberg… that’s really hard to do
now i see why US is failing…
GYAT they rocked zucks sh** at that hearing.
Promiscuous women running rampant and unchecked on the internet…just blame Zuckerberg.
Parents and guardians and mainly responsible for what their kids do when parents buy them a computer and smartphone with internet access and connections to social media apps.
Why aren't these parents taking responsibility for their negligence? They want to blame the CEO's and point the finger elsewhere instead of themselves.
Title Should Be Changed To: Zuckerberg FORCED To Apologize By Hawley On National TV.
That and a dollar get you a cup of coffee
Zuckerberg is a criminal.
It's the person that needs to learn how to use the internet and know what you are looking for not the CEO.
I haven’t been following the story and obviously was confused by what this is all about?
Mr bully boy will do anything for a vote wow!!! Get off your phones and parent yall kids 😢
13 year old girls should not have a personal phone to avoid parenting your kids. Not responsible enough yet to be on a network of chaos yo!!! When your kids can get a part time job they old enough to be responsible for paying the bill. Anything yall can do to blame others. BE THE PARENT
Honestly this republicansaurus… are atacking Zuckerberg in Avery ignorant way. They don’t understand how the online platforms work.!!
So make the platform 18+.. ez
Blame the parents! You can get the same nudity and content on TV, online video games, YouTube etc. Facebook is just a target because it's a threat to their election chances.
nudity doesnt harm kids but guns do.
Why instagram has to apologize every one’s responsible for their own behavior and parents need to stop their children from this
How about the parents?? Where were the parents when their children were on line using social media???? We as parents should be aware of what our children are doing. We give them all kind of gadgets to connect with social media, but we as parents ALSO should be supervising what they are doing & getting into at all times.
Nobody should be doing our job as parents!!
In Zuckerberg's defense, take a real hard look at why he started Face Book (hint: it allowed users to vote on who was hotter) at Harvard, and now it just takes all of your personal data and sells it. Why would you expect him to do more? It's made him a multi multi billionaire.
Obviously no one endorses the stats he showed but at least let the man speak and then point out his dodging of the question
Zuck doesnt care because hes ok with child exploitation. And the senate doesnt care, because theyre ok with a child exploiter still staying running. Why even pretend to care? There's no way to be head og those sites without swimming in the child graphic images, and zuck is ok with that i guess, and the governement will give him this little lecture.. and then on with their day
When will the GOP, NRA, and gun companies apologize for the tens of thousands of deaths every year?
When will they apologize for for the Jan. 6 deaths? Or the Pittsburgh, El Paso, and Buffalo massacres.
I so detest republiCON hypocrites.
Hawley should not be allowed to question anybody. 13-17 year olds were seeing nudity long before instagram came along. Did Penthouse have to apologize for kids finding their dad's stash under his mattress? Congress needs to make nudity on social media illegal, or quit complaining.
The hypocrisy is off the charts here…the party that supports genocide…bans abortions…send children to work …wont pass a gun law to protect children are yapping about internet safety…shouldnt parents have responsibility….
This senator is a blamer dwl wow so children and people on a whole are not responsible for their I'll judgmental ways. This is ridiculous
This crook belongs in jail!
If people don't like Instagram then it's the responsibility of parents to monitor their kids. Take away their phones!
What a bunch of blowhards who won't even let the people brought in to talk constantly interrupting them and giving long-winded speeches demanding 'yes' or 'no' answers.
You can rant about controlling kids but you can’t control their friends who show them these things
The parents are held more responsible
Personally I protect my own children. I don’t rely on mark to do it and I never have. Used to call it parenting. But I understand most parents don’t have time to interact with their children anymore.
What about the elderly???????
Hawly is a JOKE FIRE HIM 😅😅😅
more ntuus and bolts and safeties ofr companies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! marijuana heroin opium vapes and mushrooms.
Unbelievable! How can Zuckerberg be held personally liable for the responsibility of millions of parents? If that’s the case the Republicans should be held responsible for not passing sticker gun control laws. The NRA is responsible for thousands of death each year but yet these same lawmakers will not lift a trigger finger to help save lives. Where is their victim financial fund? If that’s the case the manufacturers who make knifes should also be sued when a child gets injured. The real question is how come Mr high and mighty Josh Hawley still have his job? We haven’t forget watching him waving his fist in the air as a sign of approval while America and the Capitol Police were been attacked.
Regulations to big tech NOW
The same clown who ran from rioters and is complicit in forcing 10yo SA victims to bear children is concerned with anatomy on the internet? Sir, take several seats.
Facebook and Instagram are both garbage platforms, that are run by complete monkeys
This is ridiculous
He will have to move outside of usa no to be molested by this committees. And renounce to usa citizenship. This way he will not be bothered.😅😅😅😅
Mark Zuckerberg is today's cigarette manufacturer but far worse. He has no soul. It's all about the money. But Congress has passed no laws to protect our kids so get off your high horse, Senator Hawley.
