@@danielmartin7838I left shortly after joining MANY years ago and never turned back. It always bothered me how Facebook exploded onto the scene and shortly after became an 'integral' part of nearly everyone's life. Even so far as that employers would require you to have a Facebook account. Then, a few years after they got big, I was warning friends that their personal home and cell phone numbers were being displayed on their profile pages. With their full name and viewable by people that were not part of their friends lists. Several years after that it was made known that Facebook was consciously manipulating people and including them in social experimentation without their knowledge or consent. On multiple ocassions if I recall correctly. Fast forward to the primary elections for Obama and Trump. They were actively influencing people's opinions on who to vote for as well. I want nothing to do with any of it. And I believe they should be held accountable for their actions to the fullest extent.
We cant abdigate our parental duty to a platform that is designed for free movement of information. I am all for roasting Marc Zuckerberg (mostly just because he and his companies simply deserve scorn), but this grilling shows a lack of understanding on how the internet works. Like demanding Instagram for eg. can actually PREVENT a post from being posted. In reality they can only REACT to what has already been posted. Blaming this creep for our bad parenting is a bit of a witch hunt, to say the least.
In my experience, politics that the Facebook staff don't agree with gets removed very quickly, while sexual content, gore, etc. gets kept up even if you report it
@@beckee6282 Life was more fun before phone though. Children play, read books, do creative stuffs, visit their grandparents, cook and help parents in kitchen, and many more
All these people in that room have an app from these social media platforms on their cellphones, including their own children, which they all allowed them to have and download. So, whose fault is that. I guess it's the parents for allowing this to happen to their own children. These Senators are a bunch of clowns in disguise.
It's all bread and circuses, so everyone give a round of applause for the never-ending theater we're constantly being fed. Nothing will be done and nobody will ever be held accountable. It's all just so tiresome.
I'm not so sure about that. A politician just pulled the pedo card. You don't play that card without a full follow through. I do believe Mr. Cruz just impressed me.
@@gregfisher962Really? You think that someone who is insanely wealthy and operates the largest platform that ALL of them use will be put to the sword, so to speak? Not a chance. They (CEOs, politicians, celebrities, etc) all feign ignorance of any illicit behavior. "Oh, it wasn't ME. It was those other people who crossed the laws!"
The people can hold them accountable by deleting their accounts from these platforms. By keeping their children at home, homeschooling & a parent being with a child every time they are on the internet. By not giving smartphones to children but only text & calling phones. By parents showing kids at age appropriate levels how to detect those who want to harm them. Not allowing children to be able to purchase anything online by themselves. If everyone did this, these monsters would have no power or money. They wouldn’t get it from us.
"Senator, we take down anything we think is sexual abuse material..." That's a lie. I've routinely reported graphic sexual images on FB that FB deems appropriate per their "guidelines". In contrast, I've had WORDS removed that were deemed "hate speech", that were nothing of the sort (just political speech that they didn't agree with).
Same here, I've faced multiple FB bans because I was blunt with the truth, but reporting sex scam sites, fraud scam sites ect is perfectly fine within Metas guidelines
I just got banned on Instagram because I commented about sending a Google screenshot of the first place we dated on a sales page that sells a glass plaque with the map image you choose of your first date 😂😂
Saw a vid of this girl being repeatedly punched by her boyfriend while she was whimpering in pain. Reported it, and according to fb, it didnt violate their policy. Socmed is fked up
Amen. My niece literally found CP posted on instagram. Because it was two pics, one each of two dif girls that go to her school with their accounts/names tagged in the post. With hateful text overlayed on top. They seemed to be pics the girls sadly made the mistake of taking and sending to a BF at the time is my guess. But the girls in the pics were 13! I reported it to Instagram the day they were posted from some throwaway account. It took them TWO WEEKS to remove the images. And they were EXTREMELY... revealing images let's just say. But they stayed up for ANYONE to see again for TWO WEEKS! I reported through the official tools, tweeted at them etc. Made no difference.
I reported child sexual abuse content many many times on Facebook, and after they examine my report they say "we found it doesn't go against our community guidelines" each single time and nothing happened to every single report I've done. These people are just evil.
You have no idea. You realize these social media platforms have billions of users and has to monitor billions of activities in a single day alone. Reports like yours weather true or false comes in millions every single day. Any company no matter have big will never have enough employee just to check on those reports so they have to rely mostly on software to which may or may not evaluate the report correctly hence your situation. I bet you would be mad if you suddenly get blocked on any platform because i incorrectly reported your activity as malicious when its not
also please always try to remember that Facebook did an experiment years ago to see what the effects of feeding DEPRESSING news and updates and cutting people off from good nice happy things was going to be on peoples usage of the site.. so hundreds of thousands of POSSIBLY VULNERABLE people were DELIBERATELY cut off from nice things and fed a feed of negative depressing stuff.. at a time they were probably going online to try to cheer themselves up.. how many suicides happened as a result.. and the Facebook team did that experiment DELIBERATELY!
Ted Cruze is a flake .what he is telling Mark Z is exactly him .What a circus. Parents are the ones who should control their children. But they use social media as a Babysitter.
Fair point. But during covid lockdowns, how were people supposed to keep in contact with each other? You could argue phone, but times have really changed. Seems like covid was MADE for something like this. Really makes you think.
I have never had these either, but watching everyone else fall into this trap has been frustrating. A waste is correct, I play on the CB radio for my entertainment and it’s great, lots of folks having actual conversations in real time.
@@HelenaBottomFarter-oq4kq not every parent is tech literate, most of the kids are far more knowledgeable on what they’re using and doing vs the parent. Already hard enough to monitor something they don’t understand how things fully work.
@HelenaBottomFarter-oq4kq I disagree that the comment is nonsensical. If a parent is aware of a potential hazard, then should they not research and educate themselves further to aid in the protection of their child? Just a question. Maybe the original question is a bit dramatic, but there is some validity. If, as a parent, you are concerned, then it should be the parents' desire to gather information and make necessary decisions to protect their child. If the parent does not make the effort to do so, then we should question how much they care...
Sorry this is on the parents You monitor What channel is doing You drink too much Coca-Cola What you think your kids going to be fat with diabetes So what now it's Coca-Cola's fault it's Pepsi's fault it's Krispy Kreme donuts fault let's try a new challenge the Oven challenge how many people want to do that challenge SMH 😂😂😂
SOME validity, @@aerescross9799. Only a very small amount. Yes, parents have to pay attention to what their kids are doing. BUT... (And it's a really big one.) I'm a GenX. The world is not what it was when I was a kid. There was no such thing as 'sexting' when I was a kid. It was something that kids literally could not do. (Well... You could use a Polaroid camera, maybe but... Not quite the same.) The economy was definitely NOT what it is today. Things are MUCH harder for kids (that's anyone younger than me) now than they were when I was a kid. Parents (even in the remaining families with two parents) are completely stressed because there literally isn't time to do everything that needs done. No. It's not because they all insist on eating avocado toast and drinking $12 coffee every day. Parents who aren't already knowledgeable about tech (and that's the vast majority of them) don't really have time to learn about _all_ of the threats. And there are a hell of a lot of them. Yes, I do know a pretty fair amount about tech. I made my kids take a programming class, not because I wanted them to be programmers but because they just have to have some idea of how these things work. I teach them about networking, too. These are things that ought to be being taught in the miserable excuse for an education system this country has. But they aren't. You can't bitch at people for not knowing something they have never had any real opportunity to learn about. Hell, even the Catholics gave the natives that much credit. I guess it's a lot easier to stand on a high hill and spit on everyone than to actually expect sites like Twitch to stop allowing soft-core porn on a site for 13+ kids, huh?
@@RedPixel2023 Great idea. Take away their phone so your kid is forced to access through other means. Helicopter mother of the year! Kids are kids, they are going to find out other ways. If you control them like that, they will rebel and find another way. I feel for your poor kids.
@@aoife3571 actually, that was a sarcasm and and meant as a finger to the moon. Kids are vulnerable from all sides these days and what i really meant is that parents need to really get close and personal with tbeir upbringing to the extent that kids would know the difference themselves to avoid bad and really stick to good and best decision when it comes to online matters
How can social media giants prevent stuff from being seen if they aren’t allowed to look at human information since people are so concerned about their information from being seen.
@@larryfisherman6449 but it's still going on even today and these companies are aware of it and does nothing instead in some instances promote it and when caught doing it oh well it was the algorithm that did it why are people not reviewing these posts especially when they are repeatedly reported
They do remove it. The problem is that so many people upload content that they need automatic algorithms to identify and remove it, as those algorithms aren't as smart as human beings and can be fooled with enough trial and error. The warning message is displayed when users appear to be searching for the content, in an effort to get them to stop looking. Even if a user is searching for it, Instagram will never serve content that they have identified as illegal. Such content would have been removed.
The families who lost their kids need to file a class action lawsuit against Zuckerberg to hold him accountable. After these hearings nothing is done, absolutely nothing.
Gave up FB way back in 2004/5... Already saw the writing on THAT wall! And I'm GenX anyway so TikTok, Instagram, TwatterX etc... Are ALL utterly meaningless to me!
no godddam SH!T ??? but why is twitch marketed as a for all ages or 12 and up site?? its NOT 18+ so that means that if they had sexual material on the site they'd be hounded by the government facebook is the same way its for 12 and up or something NOT AN 18+ APPPP so yes its the parents faults but ALSO NOT... cause any graphic content or mentally abusive to anyone kinda content shouldnt be on the app in the first place
though i am a left-wing guy, but honestly, Instagram and now even UA-cam is helping promote all these acts. If not about right or left wing, it's about children being victims. I may not like Ted Cruz, but he has a point here.
We all know what the internet and social media is capable of, especially if you leave your child unsupervised in front of it. Parents need to start taking responsibility too.
Stop blaming the parents. Facebook has become the biggest social media app and is basically a utility these days. Almost everyone uses it and there has been a huge social set up to get young kids to use these platforms. Parents cant watch them every minute. A company like this that has such a huge platform should be responsible and held accountable for not allowing this type of content. You cant tell me they cant do it. They literally block and censor anyone who has the slightest conservative tint to their posts or anything that the liberal narrative doesn't like, so they should easily be able to block child porn. I agree parents should take more care to stop their kids from using this media platform, as they obviously are a bunch of rich old pedophiles, but this hearing is about FB and THEIR responsibility in not being involved with criminal acts towards children.

If it says “ may contain child sexual abuse “ then you shouldn’t be able to see it until it’s been cleared and as soon as something is labeled that it should be IMMEDIATELY investigated and reported to the authorities if necessary
A couple things here, 1 you can't humanly vet millions a video a day, 2 who is the one who will vet the video and with what criteria will they decide whether something is violation of a policy. You may very well end up doing censorship just like twitter did with political content, they will label something hate speech when it's just an expression of free speech.
I report hard core porn Facebook posts and sites to Facebook when they pop up on my homepage, but their usual response is, that " they do not go against our community standards ". !!!!! I have lots of proof to share with the lawmakers.
Unfortunately I think it's just a show for the public. But my other thought is that by public display it can inform people on the nature of these subjects which can lead to people leaving those platforms.
An understandable and legitimate p.o.v. These are deeply immoral people running America (tech, pharma, private equity, banks…) Like you, I am dismayed daily at the utter evil before us done by so-called 'liberals'.
These platforms are literally guilty of conspiracy to murder. Censored credible doctors but child porn is fine. Yet people still build their lives and share everything on these platforms. It's a sick disgusting world.
keep your kids off the internet, you wouldnt let them wander the streets of chicago alone, dont let them on the internet alone. It's truly a simple solution, parents just have absolutely no desire to actually parent their children.
@@justanotherguy6359 absolutely. UA-cam once had a real sick problem with videos pretending to be for children showing adult themes instead by surprise... some sickness corruption out there, kids need a healthier environment to grow up - good lord. Part of why there's stricter regulation on the platform for videos specifically for child audiences - the video either definitely is or definitely isn't now and probably much more advanced moderation of the ones for children hopefully to catch those attempting to circumvent the safety algorithms. The scale of the problem seems to be worse than the public is aware.
@Jorbz I have a solution for this and I also sent an email to Mr Mark with the idea that of creating an AI filter to filter through each new post and existing ones and prevent the posts written or pics or videos it would detect anything harmful to children and disallow access. I’m a backend developer but I can learn machine learning too.
@DeepFriedZodd shutting down your own successful business is not an optimal solution of solving a problem we need to learn to face it and address a problem not run away from it that’s what programming is all about and plus we live in 2024 tech filled world what and what would you shut down?
Agreed, these hearings happened before the 2020 election. I remember Dr Robert Epstein saying "it was gonna get ugly", yet nothing was done. Social media and dating apps have one goal, to dismantle traditional society and advance the marksist agenda.
I wonder if it’s because under Bill 230 (or 231?) they are protected from the law. The heads of social media can’t be sued or anything. No one can do anything about what they’re doing, except make laws to restrict their businesses
You would be surprised to learn that owners are actually also republicans, catholic politicians and some of them are among the ones searching for that content out there.

UA-cam is probably the least egregious form of social media though. Even though it’s censored as hell and also bans anything it doesn’t agree with, there’s hidden gems to be found here. Having an account on UA-cam is also completely different from having a personal Facebook/Instagram account etc too though. I’ve not had any personal form of social media for at least 10 years at this point, I saw where it was heading a long time ago.
If we can't stop people in prison from getting phones, what makes you think you can stop your child? They'll get one and hide it from you. They don't need cell service, they just need WiFi.
I agree, good luck on that though. It's part of our current world, unfortunately. I'm glad I didn't have a flip cellphone until I was almost done with high school. Before the phones were computers. I'm glad I had a real childhood before social media. I don't know how that would be possible today without completely dropping out of society like an Amish person.

The funny thing is that even if laws were pushed it would be ruled unconstitutional due them infringing on freedom of speech for adults. There is a reason COPA was striken down by a conservative supreme court.
I had a sexual conversation with my girlfriend via Facebook messenger a few years ago. We traded photos (I was 35, she was 30). My account was disabled and the police showed up at 4AM to talk about it. The police told me they knew the only reason it happened was because a politician claimed they didn't do enough to pedophiles. So every chance they got, they were making reports that were obviously NOT child stuff. The reason they came at 4AM was so peoples neighbors didn't see them, but obviously it's something they have to investigate. Zuckerberg is full of shit.
As parents, it is my duty and right to protect our child. We parents are the ones who are in control of what apps should be in our kids iPad or phone. If SOCIAL MEDIA apps are not safe for kids, it's up to parents to block these apps. Parents are 100% responsible for their children.
Well , it is part of the businesses fault too , because they should be putting in place some safety measures so that children aren't even allowed to be on these platforms period
I agree that parents need to be a little more diligent with watching. What their kids are doing, but social media like Ted Cruz just said is very powerful and they have all the power in the world to stop putting garbage on their websites and not allowing it that it would be banned from public Viewthey are not doing that.
Problem with these hearings is that we're all 'ye Ted, go get em' meanwhile nobody is ever held accountable and they walk away from that place with a smile on their faces
I mean when a politician supposed to be involved in actual issues is yelling about symbols and tags on a website because "think of the children", it's a miracle one can abstain themselves from laughing hysterically and will only have a mere smile on their face.

We can't put them in our back pockets, and schools, courts, and social workers have stripped parents of parental rights.

I fought many battles with school and other authorities trying to rear my children to be GOD/JAH fearing moral beings... It's not as easy as some think. Even those who chose to home school face and faced the wrath of societal and legal authorities. Some forced to send their children to public school or risk losing custody.....
Facebook/Instagram/Meta stores EVERY bit of information they collect from EVERY user. There is no way Zuckerberg can honestly say, " I'm not sure if we stored that ".
He doesn't want to reveal that as the no of clicks for "see anyway" would result in millions and they didn't care to do anything about it. I am sure Zuckerberg never imagined facemesh will end up like this and someday he will look silly answering these questions.
I think the correct way to go is to involve parents, schools and the industry in educating our kids about the dangers faced in social media. It can’t be left to corporate giants alone.

Hot take: It’s not Marks fault (kind of), parents are the people that need to regulate this kind of stuff, while a majority of teenagers use social media, they fell for the addicting nature of it that was designed for adults. And while company’s are leading towards kids, that’s just good business, you get the youth hooked on your product young, so they buying, buying, buying. That’s not unethical, that’s good business
As well as: How to ask questions and then immediately interrupt the answer. Ted and Mark are both human beings who care more about their delicate sensibilities than anything else and this video demonstrates it perfectly. These types of people in any state of authority (whether it's CEO, or Senator) are damaging society.
Yes , they all get to stand before these committees and say stuff like I don't agree with your question questioning or how Ever, it is that they choose to word it. And then they just get away with it. They never check back like they say they will. And then the committee just doesn't do s*** about it. So the committee should be held just as liable as these tech giants as well. As the parents that still choose to allow their kids to use this s***My kids were never allowed to use social media. In fact, the only phones they had were flip phones and they weren't capable of using that kind of stuff on a flip phone. Your kids must have a phone make it a flip phone
what? i understood Marks answers, at least when he was allowed to actually answer and not interrupted on the 2nd word out of his mouth, his company does more than any other to combat the stuff ted was asking, ted just wouldn't let mark get more than 1 or 2 words to answer with and they are not "yes/no" questions
If I was raising small children today, I would never allow them to be on any social media and no smart lphones. It's just too easy for our children to get into a very dangerous situations with their smartphones and social media's. Parents please we must protect our children and our families at all cost.
My one year olds development is pretty comparable to most 2 year olds these days. We do a lot of activity, she speaks 3 languages, English, Thai, and sign language (this is so important for babies to be able to communicate and learn emotions at a young age). mainly, we don't allow screen time. Except for FaceTime with her family in Thailand. 2 way communication is fine with a screen. A child should never just sit watching something. So happy and proud. She also has had a full set of choppers since she was 10 months old basically. This is due to our mainly whole food plant based diet. Can't wait to see my babies future.

They said the same thing about movies until there was a rating for TV and movies. My parents wouldn't let me watch anything they felt not for children. Where is the parenting with some of these children. There is "Parent Control" on phones and computers.
How about parents do their own parenting? I used the internet throughout my teens and never had any problems - it was even less censored back then. Nowadays parents can have complete control over their kids social media. Including which comments get to them. You won't protect them from it after like 15 anyway. My parents had a password to get online - I found the slip, memorized it and put it back. As soon as my parents were gone, we were online the entire time. They'd pull in from work and we'd be quickly deleting the history and jump into a game. They never figured it out. 😂😂😂 We were smart kids though. Just to put it in perspective - when pedos would get us into private chats, we'd talk about how we were going to remove his..... 😂😂😂 sometimes, you just gotta trust your kids.
@UnJefeDelDesiertono one is going to use social media with those restrictions. I stopped using Twitter when they required phone verification just to search for stories. I can't even search the news on your website without an account, I have no use for it. Really fun looking every day for new Epik hack drops last time I was on there, that was a couple years ago, even before musky took over. That's what's wild too - every other add on Twitter is porn ads and for some reason conservatives aren't mad about that. 😂 or about how the Russians used Telegram to manipulate Maga into doing a J6 terrorism. Conservatives aren't worried about that one either? Over 1000 ppl arrested for that.
I would take it one step further: What if you close down this shit "social media" to see how you meet your friends more often, to boost your physical condition by spending less hours sitting etc etc. That would be nice! Social media is a drug, admit it!
As a millennial, growing up without social media was a blessing. I feel for the youth who were born into social media, this tool has been modified and poisoned to fit a capitalistic vision that has the golden rule in mind. Who ever has the gold, makes the rules.
Very true brother. I remember the thrill I got from being introduced to Facebook back in 2008. Then it grew on me and my friends. But somehow we have other things to hold on to.
Bro stop that cap , im a millenial and i grew up off norhinf but tech and social media and smart phones from a small small boy to now Stop capping for the net, you know u grew up off social media . There is no difference between gen z and baby millennials aside from being born 1 year apart
I’m not gonna lie, the “see results anyways” made my stomach DROP into my feet. I knew it was bad, but I didn’t realize the extent. I got off Instagram because I started seeing a negative impact on my mental health, and when I started seeing people DIE on a daily basis on Reels (mostly car accidents). This is leaning towards crimes against humanity

Hearing after hearing and no one is ever held accountable
People could. Leave their platforms for good
True
@@danielmartin7838I left shortly after joining MANY years ago and never turned back. It always bothered me how Facebook exploded onto the scene and shortly after became an 'integral' part of nearly everyone's life. Even so far as that employers would require you to have a Facebook account.
Then, a few years after they got big, I was warning friends that their personal home and cell phone numbers were being displayed on their profile pages. With their full name and viewable by people that were not part of their friends lists. Several years after that it was made known that Facebook was consciously manipulating people and including them in social experimentation without their knowledge or consent. On multiple ocassions if I recall correctly.
Fast forward to the primary elections for Obama and Trump. They were actively influencing people's opinions on who to vote for as well.
I want nothing to do with any of it. And I believe they should be held accountable for their actions to the fullest extent.
Because hearings aren't the answer and I think we both know it.
what about the parents?
Stop allowing your children to have social media
Even if the parents do they can still ask there friends to use there phone
Remember when you were a kid? Right. Good luck with that.
@@T0pCL4SSright but society wasn’t blaming others for their kids being kids. Why on earth would u blame the gun as opposed to the person who shot
We cant abdigate our parental duty to a platform that is designed for free movement of information. I am all for roasting Marc Zuckerberg (mostly just because he and his companies simply deserve scorn), but this grilling shows a lack of understanding on how the internet works. Like demanding Instagram for eg. can actually PREVENT a post from being posted. In reality they can only REACT to what has already been posted. Blaming this creep for our bad parenting is a bit of a witch hunt, to say the least.
I wish I had.
In my experience, politics that the Facebook staff don't agree with gets removed very quickly, while sexual content, gore, etc. gets kept up even if you report it
You are 100% on point, it has happened to me several times, ridiculous!
So you are saying they remove liberal politics?
Because governments pay to take that down .... They couldn't care less about your kids

Can't say much about these parents that ate foolish enough to get locked up trying to blame it on someone else though...
All these people in that room have an app from these social media platforms on their cellphones, including their own children, which they all allowed them to have and download. So, whose fault is that. I guess it's the parents for allowing this to happen to their own children. These Senators are a bunch of clowns in disguise.
It's all bread and circuses, so everyone give a round of applause for the never-ending theater we're constantly being fed. Nothing will be done and nobody will ever be held accountable. It's all just so tiresome.

@@gregfisher962Really? You think that someone who is insanely wealthy and operates the largest platform that ALL of them use will be put to the sword, so to speak? Not a chance. They (CEOs, politicians, celebrities, etc) all feign ignorance of any illicit behavior. "Oh, it wasn't ME. It was those other people who crossed the laws!"
The people can hold them accountable by deleting their accounts from these platforms. By keeping their children at home, homeschooling & a parent being with a child every time they are on the internet. By not giving smartphones to children but only text & calling phones. By parents showing kids at age appropriate levels how to detect those who want to harm them. Not allowing children to be able to purchase anything online by themselves. If everyone did this, these monsters would have no power or money. They wouldn’t get it from us.
Easily impressed, they pressed no charges @@gregfisher962
"Senator, we take down anything we think is sexual abuse material..."
That's a lie. I've routinely reported graphic sexual images on FB that FB deems appropriate per their "guidelines". In contrast, I've had WORDS removed that were deemed "hate speech", that were nothing of the sort (just political speech that they didn't agree with).
Same here, I've faced multiple FB bans because I was blunt with the truth, but reporting sex scam sites, fraud scam sites ect is perfectly fine within Metas guidelines
Same bro, I have reported so much graphic material and they don’t take it down. What the hell is wrong with these people?
I just got banned on Instagram because I commented about sending a Google screenshot of the first place we dated on a sales page that sells a glass plaque with the map image you choose of your first date 😂😂
UA-cam is just as bad but mostly just censoring anti war perspectives not that anybody cares

When you report a content as a violation to instagram they just ignore. 100% of the times they respond "the content did not violated our polices".
THIS IS WHY FREE SPEECH WAS A MISTAKE
@@Tobias8842Profa! Profa! Sign me up I enjoy fiery orations.

Lol weird because I've almost lost my account with comments that didn't use cusswords or racial/sexist language ...its so random and wild
Amen. My niece literally found CP posted on instagram. Because it was two pics, one each of two dif girls that go to her school with their accounts/names tagged in the post. With hateful text overlayed on top. They seemed to be pics the girls sadly made the mistake of taking and sending to a BF at the time is my guess. But the girls in the pics were 13! I reported it to Instagram the day they were posted from some throwaway account. It took them TWO WEEKS to remove the images. And they were EXTREMELY... revealing images let's just say. But they stayed up for ANYONE to see again for TWO WEEKS! I reported through the official tools, tweeted at them etc. Made no difference.
I reported child sexual abuse content many many times on Facebook, and after they examine my report they say "we found it doesn't go against our community guidelines" each single time and nothing happened to every single report I've done.
These people are just evil.
I'll agree with u iv report stuff got same response makes me wonder what is on his computer and so on
Same here. I quit reporting it because of that.
It’s not evil, it’s negligence.
You have no idea. You realize these social media platforms have billions of users and has to monitor billions of activities in a single day alone. Reports like yours weather true or false comes in millions every single day. Any company no matter have big will never have enough employee just to check on those reports so they have to rely mostly on software to which may or may not evaluate the report correctly hence your situation. I bet you would be mad if you suddenly get blocked on any platform because i incorrectly reported your activity as malicious when its not
Did you report it to the FBI or DHS? Did you provide law enforcement the evidence of the abuse?
They tell Zuckerberg 'just go up there, sit there and act like you are listening -- nothing will happen.'
He's quite good at it.
he just enters low battery mode.
also please always try to remember that Facebook did an experiment years ago to see what the effects of feeding DEPRESSING news and updates and cutting people off from good nice happy things was going to be on peoples usage of the site.. so hundreds of thousands of POSSIBLY VULNERABLE people were DELIBERATELY cut off from nice things and fed a feed of negative depressing stuff.. at a time they were probably going online to try to cheer themselves up..
how many suicides happened as a result..
and the Facebook team did that experiment DELIBERATELY!

Ted Cruze is a flake .what he is telling Mark Z is exactly him .What a circus. Parents are the ones who should control their children. But they use social media as a Babysitter.
Everyone acts like this is out of their own control. Literally delete and boycott the product and it doesn’t exist.
Not how demand works.
Fair point. But during covid lockdowns, how were people supposed to keep in contact with each other? You could argue phone, but times have really changed. Seems like covid was MADE for something like this. Really makes you think.

The problem is that most parents DO NOT care what their kids see or do online.
@@HelenaBottomFarter-oq4kq not every parent is tech literate, most of the kids are far more knowledgeable on what they’re using and doing vs the parent. Already hard enough to monitor something they don’t understand how things fully work.
@HelenaBottomFarter-oq4kq I disagree that the comment is nonsensical. If a parent is aware of a potential hazard, then should they not research and educate themselves further to aid in the protection of their child? Just a question.
Maybe the original question is a bit dramatic, but there is some validity.
If, as a parent, you are concerned, then it should be the parents' desire to gather information and make necessary decisions to protect their child. If the parent does not make the effort to do so, then we should question how much they care...
Sorry this is on the parents You monitor What channel is doing You drink too much Coca-Cola What you think your kids going to be fat with diabetes So what now it's Coca-Cola's fault it's Pepsi's fault it's Krispy Kreme donuts fault let's try a new challenge the Oven challenge how many people want to do that challenge SMH 😂😂😂
@@HelenaBottomFarter-oq4kqlook at how many ipad kids there are... they are negligeting your children
SOME validity, @@aerescross9799. Only a very small amount. Yes, parents have to pay attention to what their kids are doing.
BUT... (And it's a really big one.)
I'm a GenX. The world is not what it was when I was a kid. There was no such thing as 'sexting' when I was a kid. It was something that kids literally could not do. (Well... You could use a Polaroid camera, maybe but... Not quite the same.)
The economy was definitely NOT what it is today. Things are MUCH harder for kids (that's anyone younger than me) now than they were when I was a kid. Parents (even in the remaining families with two parents) are completely stressed because there literally isn't time to do everything that needs done. No. It's not because they all insist on eating avocado toast and drinking $12 coffee every day. Parents who aren't already knowledgeable about tech (and that's the vast majority of them) don't really have time to learn about _all_ of the threats. And there are a hell of a lot of them.
Yes, I do know a pretty fair amount about tech. I made my kids take a programming class, not because I wanted them to be programmers but because they just have to have some idea of how these things work. I teach them about networking, too. These are things that ought to be being taught in the miserable excuse for an education system this country has. But they aren't.
You can't bitch at people for not knowing something they have never had any real opportunity to learn about. Hell, even the Catholics gave the natives that much credit. I guess it's a lot easier to stand on a high hill and spit on everyone than to actually expect sites like Twitch to stop allowing soft-core porn on a site for 13+ kids, huh?
As parents, it is our duty and right to protect our children.
People on the Senate are parents too
as a parent, take away their phone. because they can eaily access porn faster than fb!
@@RedPixel2023 Great idea. Take away their phone so your kid is forced to access through other means. Helicopter mother of the year! Kids are kids, they are going to find out other ways. If you control them like that, they will rebel and find another way. I feel for your poor kids.
@@aoife3571 actually, that was a sarcasm and and meant as a finger to the moon.

Can we now blame the kids for all the fun being taken away on the internet?
They should be watching post or view post before sb post it
My question is why did they even let child porn on the site they should have removed it as soon as it was found
It’s not that easy, especially when the site was first built
@@larryfisherman6449 but it's still going on even today and these companies are aware of it and does nothing instead in some instances promote it and when caught doing it oh well it was the algorithm that did it why are people not reviewing these posts especially when they are repeatedly reported
They do remove it. The problem is that so many people upload content that they need automatic algorithms to identify and remove it, as those algorithms aren't as smart as human beings and can be fooled with enough trial and error.
The warning message is displayed when users appear to be searching for the content, in an effort to get them to stop looking.
Even if a user is searching for it, Instagram will never serve content that they have identified as illegal. Such content would have been removed.
same reason they let children on the site when they arent allowed.
The families who lost their kids need to file a class action lawsuit against Zuckerberg to hold him accountable. After these hearings nothing is done, absolutely nothing.
best way is to delete the accounts of Facebook/Instagram/Meta and never look back
Did it years ago, and it was the best decision ever!
So did i, sadly.. 99% of the world wont. We already failed humanity with social media, the damage is irreversable.
I closed my FB account since 2016 and I never even tried IG. UA-cam is my only social media - educational, informative and entertaining.

Parent your kids. Yes, the companies should do more. But parent your kids.
no godddam SH!T ??? but why is twitch marketed as a for all ages or 12 and up site?? its NOT 18+
so that means that if they had sexual material on the site they'd be hounded by the government
facebook is the same way its for 12 and up or something NOT AN 18+ APPPP
so yes its the parents faults but ALSO NOT... cause any graphic content or mentally abusive to anyone kinda content shouldnt be on the app in the first place
You’re right parents today seem to lack the abilities to teach and guide their children just leave them in the hand of the teachers. Sadly.
Would you tell that to the faces of the parents in that room that lost their children? That they didn’t parent good enough?

@@buzby80 Yes. It's literally their fault also. More their fault than the company.
though i am a left-wing guy, but honestly, Instagram and now even UA-cam is helping promote all these acts.
If not about right or left wing, it's about children being victims. I may not like Ted Cruz, but he has a point here.
We all know what the internet and social media is capable of, especially if you leave your child unsupervised in front of it. Parents need to start taking responsibility too.
Stop blaming the parents. Facebook has become the biggest social media app and is basically a utility these days. Almost everyone uses it and there has been a huge social set up to get young kids to use these platforms. Parents cant watch them every minute.
A company like this that has such a huge platform should be responsible and held accountable for not allowing this type of content.
You cant tell me they cant do it. They literally block and censor anyone who has the slightest conservative tint to their posts or anything that the liberal narrative doesn't like, so they should easily be able to block child porn.
I agree parents should take more care to stop their kids from using this media platform, as they obviously are a bunch of rich old pedophiles, but this hearing is about FB and THEIR responsibility in not being involved with criminal acts towards children.
no godddam SH!T ??? but why is twitch marketed as a for all ages or 12 and up site?? its NOT 18+

Seriously ,I didn`t put the pictures there and I only use facebook to share things from UA-cam ,I go and check to make sure they posted them,other than that ,I am not on it, but don`t you worry I use what platform I can to share ,not all people scour the other platforms for disinformation ,so I send it to them ,especially lies from the libs !!
Showing THEIR parts! Why are you even on FB?
What do you mean there isn't a way to report it? Just click the options then click report.
Hold on a lot of people use Facebook to find relatives like me.
By not clicking child sexual abuse image don't mean it not happening it fault of society not the click

I cannot tell you how many times I have reported BLATANTLY OBVIOUS CP accounts and have had the review team come back saying it’s fine.

I had a sexual conversation with my girlfriend via Facebook messenger a few years ago. We traded photos (I was 35, she was 30). My account was disabled and the police showed up at 4AM to talk about it. The police told me they knew the only reason it happened was because a politician claimed they didn't do enough to pedophiles. So every chance they got, they were making reports that were obviously NOT child stuff. The reason they came at 4AM was so peoples neighbors didn't see them, but obviously it's something they have to investigate. Zuckerberg is full of shit.
I've just commented saying the same thing but for different reasons, their guidelines don't exist
This world is full of evil it’s insane.
Don't you have to search for this kind of stuff to come up? All I get is cat videos.
As parents, it is my duty and right to protect our child. We parents are the ones who are in control of what apps should be in our kids iPad or phone. If SOCIAL MEDIA apps are not safe for kids, it's up to parents to block these apps. Parents are 100% responsible for their children.
Parents doing their job would prevent this as well... but nobody wants to take responsibility and just push it off on the companies.
Well , it is part of the businesses fault too , because they should be putting in place some safety measures so that children aren't even allowed to be on these platforms period
This comment is quite the miss, because no one should be accessing child pornography anywhere.
I agree that parents need to be a little more diligent with watching. What their kids are doing, but social media like Ted Cruz just said is very powerful and they have all the power in the world to stop putting garbage on their websites and not allowing it that it would be banned from public Viewthey are not doing that.
A 12 year old has no need for a phone. This is on the parents... grow a pair and take away your children's phone.
That's not true
Problem with these hearings is that we're all 'ye Ted, go get em' meanwhile nobody is ever held accountable and they walk away from that place with a smile on their faces
I mean when a politician supposed to be involved in actual issues is yelling about symbols and tags on a website because "think of the children", it's a miracle one can abstain themselves from laughing hysterically and will only have a mere smile on their face.

Bad argument.
Facebook/Instagram/Meta stores EVERY bit of information they collect from EVERY user. There is no way Zuckerberg can honestly say, " I'm not sure if we stored that ".
He doesn't want to reveal that as the no of clicks for "see anyway" would result in millions and they didn't care to do anything about it. I am sure Zuckerberg never imagined facemesh will end up like this and someday he will look silly answering these questions.
they sell all that data, constantly for ads. its stored. its in constant use
That statement is false but ok
Zuckerberg had no problem shutting down conservative posts during the 2020 election when ordered by the FBI.
and you can not delete any of it I have tried
Love Ted❤❤❤ speaks the truth
I think the correct way to go is to involve parents, schools and the industry in educating our kids about the dangers faced in social media. It can’t be left to corporate giants alone.
How you gonna involve the schools....🤡 WHEN THEY ARE TEACHING PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS GAY SEX BOOKS 🤡💩
Absolutely, and the erosion of family values and morality has real consequences
Nor left to virtue signalling politicians as shown in this clip.
Haha thats funny. The schools are doing just as much or more to screw kids up now. You pay any attention to things and youll hear about all kinds of stuff going on.
I DELETED my X/twitter account. Facebook and Instagram are next.
Parents YOU have the power to protect your children. Just delete their accounts AND the apps.
Maybe even take away their phones.

Hot take: It’s not Marks fault (kind of), parents are the people that need to regulate this kind of stuff, while a majority of teenagers use social media, they fell for the addicting nature of it that was designed for adults. And while company’s are leading towards kids, that’s just good business, you get the youth hooked on your product young, so they buying, buying, buying. That’s not unethical, that’s good business
There must be classes on "How To Not Answer Questions". From what I've seen it's a required class for anyone with authority
As well as: How to ask questions and then immediately interrupt the answer.
Ted and Mark are both human beings who care more about their delicate sensibilities than anything else and this video demonstrates it perfectly.
These types of people in any state of authority (whether it's CEO, or Senator) are damaging society.
Yes , they all get to stand before these committees and say stuff like I don't agree with your question questioning or how Ever, it is that they choose to word it. And then they just get away with it. They never check back like they say they will. And then the committee just doesn't do s*** about it. So the committee should be held just as liable as these tech giants as well. As the parents that still choose to allow their kids to use this s***My kids were never allowed to use social media. In fact, the only phones they had were flip phones and they weren't capable of using that kind of stuff on a flip phone. Your kids must have a phone make it a flip phone
its called "double-speak" you can say something and mean nothing. executives and politicians are experts at it
what?
i understood Marks answers, at least when he was allowed to actually answer and not interrupted on the 2nd word out of his mouth, his company does more than any other to combat the stuff ted was asking, ted just wouldn't let mark get more than 1 or 2 words to answer with and they are not "yes/no" questions
ITS ALL STAGED, IM SURE ZUCK GOT THE SCRIPT WELL IN ADVANCE. HE IS ONLY THE FACE OF FB AND PAID TO DO THESE DOG AND PONY SHOWS.
If I was raising small children today, I would never allow them to be on any social media and no smart lphones. It's just too easy for our children to get into a very dangerous situations with their smartphones and social media's. Parents please we must protect our children and our families at all cost.
I would be worried about my child's eye health from the constant radiation.
Really ?!?! A parenting issue ? How Quaint ! Fascists would prefer to control your children rather than have responsible parents .
Not to mention the other rot that permeates it. Kids don't even have a chance.
My one year olds development is pretty comparable to most 2 year olds these days. We do a lot of activity, she speaks 3 languages, English, Thai, and sign language (this is so important for babies to be able to communicate and learn emotions at a young age). mainly, we don't allow screen time. Except for FaceTime with her family in Thailand. 2 way communication is fine with a screen. A child should never just sit watching something.
So happy and proud. She also has had a full set of choppers since she was 10 months old basically. This is due to our mainly whole food plant based diet.
Can't wait to see my babies future.
It's a real challenge.

I am so glad my state of Florida is tackling this themselves. We are passing a law that no one under the age of 16 can even have a social media account. All of America should do this.
slippery slope though.

Good luck getting that enforced. Currently no one under the age of 13 is allowed to have a social media account, and yet here we are. 😂 Do we live in the same world? This is what happens when parents let technology do their jobs for them.

They said the same thing about movies until there was a rating for TV and movies. My parents wouldn't let me watch anything they felt not for children. Where is the parenting with some of these children. There is "Parent Control" on phones and computers.
How about parents do their own parenting? I used the internet throughout my teens and never had any problems - it was even less censored back then. Nowadays parents can have complete control over their kids social media. Including which comments get to them. You won't protect them from it after like 15 anyway. My parents had a password to get online - I found the slip, memorized it and put it back. As soon as my parents were gone, we were online the entire time. They'd pull in from work and we'd be quickly deleting the history and jump into a game. They never figured it out. 😂😂😂
We were smart kids though. Just to put it in perspective - when pedos would get us into private chats, we'd talk about how we were going to remove his..... 😂😂😂 sometimes, you just gotta trust your kids.
@UnJefeDelDesiertono one is going to use social media with those restrictions. I stopped using Twitter when they required phone verification just to search for stories. I can't even search the news on your website without an account, I have no use for it.
Really fun looking every day for new Epik hack drops last time I was on there, that was a couple years ago, even before musky took over.
That's what's wild too - every other add on Twitter is porn ads and for some reason conservatives aren't mad about that. 😂 or about how the Russians used Telegram to manipulate Maga into doing a J6 terrorism. Conservatives aren't worried about that one either? Over 1000 ppl arrested for that.
I would take it one step further: What if you close down this shit "social media" to see how you meet your friends more often, to boost your physical condition by spending less hours sitting etc etc. That would be nice! Social media is a drug, admit it!
