"Maryland Family Demands Change After Son's TikTok Challenge Death"

TL;DR Summary
Parents of children who suffered harm from social media platforms, including TikTok, confronted tech executives, including Mark Zuckerberg, at a Senate hearing, urging for stricter regulations to protect kids from cyberbullying, exploitation, and harmful content. They advocated for the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) to hold social media companies accountable for harmful ads and posts. Despite a hollow apology from Zuckerberg, the parents believe their intense presence at the hearing may have moved the executives, with only Snapchat expressing support for KOSA.
