"Tech CEOs Testify Before Senate on Child Safety Online"

The Senate Judiciary Committee is grilling the leaders of Meta, TikTok, Snap, Discord, and X on the online spread of child sexual abuse material and their broader impact on children's safety and mental health. The hearing, which includes moving testimonies from victims, aims to address the dangers children encounter online and the responsibility of social media companies in protecting young people. Lawmakers are also considering legislation to hold tech companies accountable for preventing harm to minors, while internal documents reveal Meta's rejection of efforts to improve children's safety.
