Amy Klobuchar Grills Mark Zuckerberg About Reports That Meta Is Targeting Children Under 13 As Users 

not my kids cuz I limit their usage. you can do it too!

they don't have iphone they don't even have a watch. they can only play ipad on the weekend for a couple of hrs and they have to join sports team do their hw and do chores. i am mean like that.

why isnt banned already !!!!!disgrace

their friends ask "how come you are never online." 🤪

the problem is that the parents give the babies since they can hold a phone with their hands...and they blame everyone else

Ohhh you mean the second time… they let it slide for 10 years. I’m sure nobody ‘profited in any way’ the first time.. ergo, a second go round. To trust ONE of you is, obviously, debilitating and sometimes fatal.

@@kimberlyrogers9953 Since the year 2000, Chinese hacking activities targeting American corporations and technology have been deep and widespread. Every one of the Top 6000 corporations in the USA have had their technology stolen. This was supported by the Clinton Bush Obama and of course Biden govts as well the fbi and Wall Street in order to quickly shift manufacturing to China at the expense of the American people. Donald Trump was the only president to put a stop to it and all his measures were strict down Immediately upon Biden taking office. Reports since 2000 confirm a pattern of cyber espionage, backed by the Chinese government, with the aim of stealing intellectual property, trade secrets, and sensitive technology. These activities have targeted a range of industries, including defense, aerospace, technology, and healthcare and the US water supply and power grid and internet. The motivations are often attributed to gaining a competitive edge, advancing military capabilities, and economic espionage. The U.S. government under the FBI and CIA have done little but raised cybersecurity concerns, and diplomatic efforts have been made to address these issues between the two countries. China stated they have all American business and military secrets and can purchase and tech companies who secrets they want. The plan now is to buy land, bribe govt officials, feed Chinese into academic institutions to gather espionage

Who are talking to? Zuckerberg is not going to read your post, nor will the senators.

Amazing they will go after social media, but not close the border

I mean, too late for that, no?

It does not need to be shut down. The reason the social media is getting out of hand is because they cannot be sued. Once that is removed, they will act a lot more responsibility. The immunity is the reason why they are comfortable letting all these happen.

Why stop at TikTok? Because Trump told you so?🤣

I don’t think TikTok is toxic, but there are toxic people on it.

Facebook and IG too. They serve no purpose really

globally

No its easier to blame tec companies than parent your own children

Steve Jobs never let his own children have a cell phone...

​@@Smook3x6You aren't a parent,my minor kids have flip phones!

@@Smook3x6no shit! Parents need to do a better job

@@teresanewcomb442 do you know what irony is?

Yes , let's talk about who the predators are . Epstein , anyone ?

RU-vid did it

Kids have been had accounts man it's 2024..... like 10 years ago. Young kids always want what the older people are doing its simple psychology

@@BillyBlakeington- How about just letting them smoke cigarettes with the Camel cartoon like they used to and drink beer with the frogs and the Spuds McKenzie dog?

And that's what Suckenbug wants to do. This man is Evil, Evil, Evil,....

That brings up a question I hadn't thought about until now. When Facebook announced their whole Meta VR experience, who is going to be more interested and inclined to use such a service... Adults and parents, or children and teenagers? 🤔

@@terrapinflyer273 children

They sure as hell IMMEDIATELY shut down any anti-Democrat comments made by Conservatives yet somehow let SEXTORTION slip by….interesting isn’t it?

brain dead take..you then will be complaining about how FB doesn't allow free speech. Freedom comes with chaos. Orders comes without freedom. Pick a lane

@@terrapinflyer273 probably everyone if its good.

Me too! This should be a topic that we can agree on

This is just a psyop

It’s about damn time!

They always use these hearings to run cover and distract from the truth. If Facebook and Google were doing something wrong it means the US government allowed it to happen as both are big US government and military contractors. Google and Facebook are defacto state assets. CIA closed their LifeLog project around the same time Facebook appeared. LifeLog became Facebook with a reptile brained front man of Zuckerberg to launder the CIA's involvement in its creation and control. Amy Klobuchar hates children or else she would not have helped over throw the democratically elected government in Ukraine creating the excess deaths of children and civilians in the region. This is all Kabuki theater.

If only you knew how total 🐂💩 this is. Our gov has No substantial budget…no Human Resources allocated to this and other issues. Pure spectacle.

If they consent then they can't get their lawyers to make loopholes like they always have. That's why these companies haven't been accountable so far.

Bingo! 🎉

People don't understand the influence that much money buys.

Meta is a publicly traded company. They (and others) have more sway over these laws than anyone in most cases because of the money they can spend on lobbying. These companies are needed to get other stuff through so they don't want to sour that mutually beneficial relationship by forcing this when it can be avoided. There is of course much more to it but that's the broad strokes.

The fines they pay for noncompliance is a drop in the bucket compared with the huge profits they make.

They use them at school too. Libraries as well.

@user-kramer children and parents have struggled with rules, obedience, disobedience and expectations for hundreds of years but now there seems to be a broad trend of parents just letting children do whatever they want, good luck with that

They should

Agreed, and yet puberty blockers are given to minors to irrevocably destroy their lives while a tattoo on a minor is illegal?

I strongly disagree they have to use smartphones phones aren't the problem it's famalies not discipline they're kids.

I agree👍🏾

good luck with that....

Obedient raising is a thing of the past. Parents don't control for the betterment of their children anymore.

The government is dumping their failure to regulate and police American social networks on Zuckerberg for the actions of criminals misusing his software. I see you just agree with blaming the victims and their family rather than the criminals. Typical American.

Should be child abuse neglect and failure to properly raise their children with solid morals and habits with faith.

They are in on this circus, it means they can censor content they dont like or agree with

How about personal accountability? No one’s impressed by your outrage.

Steve Jobs made sure that his kids didn’t have a device

True. I'm guilty of that.

Heard Billy Goats did too

They embezzled the masses too. Not only are they destroying the youth, they are robbing small businesses in America blind, behind the cover of the FDIC in San Francisco. Then, they pretend it's some sort of sex scandal.

It's greed at the expense of children safety. So criminal.

Yeah it’s self defeating isn’t it?

Ironic isn’t it!

Taking notes or minutes.

The irony of thinking people use their phones only for fun instead of writing stuff down and answering important timesensitive mail. If you live a simple life your phone is a entertainment device. If you live an active life your phone is your workhorse.

@@Itsallgoodtogo Is it really your workhorse your phone ? Is it real work writing a message , texting ,emailing on the phone is that what "work" is to you ?

Apps like Facebook are FREE, its your choice to download them or not.

lol, I took notice of the staff as well.

I agree i noticed that as well

Yep they take those issues so serious they've continued to grow

Exactly and they have section 230 productions

I think you're missing the point completely. The platform which has consumed you is allowing this type of shit. That's a huge problem.

@@goeatsomesh1t It's literally the parents job to monitor their children. If kids did not have access until the age of 18, then we wouldn't have minors creating this type of content to begin with. Parents NEED to parent their children, take away their internet access and give them flip phones. Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat, Discord, and many many others are for ADULTS. Not children. But since parents can't and wont parent anymore we now have ipad kids. We now have parents who want to show case their child instead of parenting them and protecting them. So yes, these apps should not allow this type of content, just as the parents of the children who create it should not allow their children on these apps.

@NeirCorvin it's also the teachers jobs though, right? A parent gets silenced for expressing concerns to the school board, but somehow it's only the parents fault for their behavior. Oh yes I totally get that parents need to do a better job and get their kids off the social hellscape, but then you'll have the teachers saying that the parent is censoring their child's feelings and social rights. You have to have seen what I'm talking about by now. How many times did you outsmart your parents and keep things hidden from them when you were a teenager? Be honest. There was a time when parents and teachers saw eye to eye on discipline and education, not so much anymore. So I still think social media is a detrement to society and a hazard to young people's mental health and development. I will not remember this conversation with you, nor will you, because it isn't a real conversation with a real person. There's something missing, the human part is missing. Hopefully one day it all goes away and people start acting human again, and you wouldn't have to worry about the various exploits occurring on "social" media.

@@goeatsomesh1t I understand what you are saying, as a teenage I mainly used my pc for gaming, Shaiya, and well...old 2000's pc games that had discs. I had a flip phone that didn't have access to the internet. As a child I stayed at home and played online, I have lived a very solitary life by choice. This is based on my personality trait. As for teachers, teachers didn't parent me, they taught me the subjects I needed to pass the current grade. It is not a teachers place to tell a parent if their child can or cannot use social media. Maybe they allow children to play on their cellphones during class these days? When I was in school we had to leave those in our lockers. I switched to homeschooling at 13 so I was essentially taken out of public schools. Because public schools were going down hill, they have only gotten worse these days and I am very thankful my parents put my education first over "socializing with kids" in a broken system. I think you and I come from not only different times but entirely different lifestyles. Teachers were mean't to teach, parents were meant to parent. They did not mix.

The government is dumping their failure to regulate and police American social networks on Zuckerberg for the actions of criminals misusing his software. I see you just agree with blaming the victims and their family rather than the criminals. Typical American.

Wow how powerful they know they are,!!! They shouldn't have apps for children. Let the children go out and Play in the real world, the virtual world is an illusion

Schools arent prisons, cops don’t belong there

Yep they protect their kids... against drugs too, fast food... Etc...

The parents are to blame. The internet has always been this way. Blaming corporations is lazy

Maybe, social media shouldn’t exist

@@arturolopezdenava ……it is simply unnecessary……most of humanity grew up fine without it. No one knows what the outcome will be on these young minds.

Yet you use it as you type your comment... Parents are just as responsible as these media platforms... Even more so, really... Watch ya damn kids, too...

@@KamalasCackle …….my only social media is RU-vid …….and soon they will be too woke to joke…..that is when I will leave for good.

agreed. ESPECIALLY TIK TOK.

Not happening anytime soon.

You're on social media

That means bye bye RU-vid...

Sure, wait till you find out about congressional theater.

Problem is that schools are handing out fully functioning iPad to students. My 4 yr old grandson in Pre-K was given an iPad and it has RU-vid kids and other apps pre-installed. So even if parents try to stay vigilant schools also need to do better

no way

Why, a couple are making changes and or have chosen to not recruit teens. This may cost them greatly. META has been an issue and has refused to do anything but start a 3rd platform aimed at recruit the next generation from using X.

We all have limitations. I always got A's in English, but always failed math no matter how hard I tried.

@@user-bluetopaz777 It's a little different though. See many parents I believe are unwilling to just learn. Like certain apps and devices give parents the ability to monitor the amount of time a child uses (nintendo even advertised this). It's not that they can't no matter how hard they tried but it seems like many parents just don't want to try and learn the tech enough to at least monitor their kids. God bless everyone.

@@FeedingFrenzy91 That's true, you're right.

Thats not how it works.

I got plenty of beef with these companies...but this analogy is silly.

Age 12? Is that true? Thought it was 21 and 16.

Yes they are providing them the opportunity by lack of regulation.

How would you do that? Seriously? Would you be ok with government background checks before you make a social media accounts?

Yup. There is a culturally decay being brought about that is then manifested on social media through the desires of the users.

​@@rw7039Trust that the devil is Bipartisan...Silently rooting evil on while protesting publicly does not a moral majority create.

​@@Narrow-PatherYep. The thin line between blue and red is not a barrier for evil.

@@LeagueofWut nothing gets by you 🤣

Have you seen the video of Zuckerberg asked to take his jacket off on a TV show his a lizard for sure

If you look at old photos of him he now looks completely different and dead behind the eyes it’s crazy.

He’s Reptilian confirmed ✅

It's called a 'loophole'.

Exactly like one of the senators said yada yada yada that's all I'm hearing, he later called Zuckerberg creepy lol

They shouldn’t exist in the first place, it was a dumbass idea from the get go. Always thought it would blow up, and here we are.

Like everything else, they don't so the gov has to do it. Families leave family members on the street, so shelters had to be built by the gov. People won't do what's right so thank God the gov does take action to do it. Not perfectly, but at least they make the effort.

Your kid's friends have smartphones. And they share.

The federal government takes too much power as it is. If the federal government would quit stepping in, people would learn to step up. If not, its called natural selection. @@user-bluetopaz777

Then teach your children earlier. Yes you can't monitor them 24/7, but if you give them a good moral compass, they may surprise you.@@LivingWithCognitiveDissonance

@LisaSmith-cv9md You got that right. We kept our kids busy with sports and church and household chores and AP classes. "It takes a village" though. You have to meet their friends and their friend's parents and family and see what their values are. And you have to talk together about your evaluations. A really smart woman once said that when your kids are little, toddler age, you have to watch them every minute. Then, when they start school they they're busy learning their place amongst their peers, so you watch them differently. A little less. Then, when their hormones start kicking in, ya gotta watch them every second again until they mature. It's a lot of work, admittedly. But that's how you raise responsible productive members of society.

Yes, and he has tons of converts.

They will do something once they are under liability for results from their social media.

Right. How many times has this dude been in front of congress??? Nothing happens. All gaga at this point. This is NOT satisfying the American ppl.

Why?? In a word, $$$$$$$$$!

Yeah something meaningless 😂 because parents don't know how to raise their kids 🙄

​@@charlierose1708explain

Yep how to censor us all, exactly what the WEF wanted

They just want to control these companies for their own ends. This is just grandstanding from some of the most incompetent, purely self-interested people. Try not to be so easily impressed and worry about your own personal accountability.

They are going to screw the American people You don't want to know what's in the bill 😅

Not realistic. School makes it a requirement

Make it. Realistic

Exactly section 230 protections allowed them to facilitate a market for child exploitation for profit all while avoiding accountability and litigation

Children will find away , these predators are fully responsible, they know what they are doing , prison time is due

@@maureennewman905 My mom and dad both used parental controls on me as a kid, kept me off of shady sites. If parents were more diligent and actually used the parental controls then some of these kids might be here. For you to turn the other cheek on poor parenting is just...wow. And yeah, there are predators online, thats why PARENTS should PARENT their children. Get it? If a parents can't take away a device or use parental controls to protect their child, then maybe they aren't fit to be a parent.

They tell them the dangers. But sadly, its easier for lieing predators to get children to do what they want then it is for the parents to get them to obey their rules.

This isn't a court hearing. This is the legislative branchg dumping their failure to regulate and police American social networks on Zuckerberg for the actions of criminals misusing his software.

For what?

Adults or parents should know that & implement it

No contest there. Billions win.

Correlation does not prove causation try again

The government isn't the ruler of all things. This isn't China

Yup, and the cellphone becomes the parent, teacher, and God.

What is now the newest thing to use in 2024?

Do you have children ???????

Of course they remember it but their kids won't. Kids learn not to follow rules by watching their parents break them, such as not obeying traffic laws, lieing to people in phone calls, drinking in front of them, etc. It's always "Do as I say, not as I do." But that will never work.
