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.
If only they pushed politicians this hard!!
That's a very good point!
Um, the Congress would get assassinated.
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
Not just not having the post removed I’ve been put in fb jail a few times for reporting child exploitation ads
@@tritontransport Wow, it's getting really bad!
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.
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
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.
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?
"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
Truth!
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.
Yes I stopped buying McDonalds in the 90s, hence they're no longer around.
Yep, not a fb user, or snap, or X....all a waste
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.
How bout we as parents don’t allow these apps on our children’s devices…
But how will they get their children to leave them alone so they can do the same thing all day long??
@@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
I don't.... I get sent a request to install apps and I'm also tracking and watching everything that's going on...
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.
Well said.
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.
Easily impressed, they pressed no charges @@gregfisher962
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?
He behaves like: “I’m just an employee following orders”.
He can’t risk hurting the image gotta deny it all
Mark dont give a 💩 about the kids as long as he can fill his pockets full. 😡
He already has .. well over a billion bucks
pretty much sums up our society lol. anything for the $$$ F everyone else. what a shame.
@@robertlee9679exactly its pathetic. Principals and morals should reign supreme over money. For if we dont have them, the money wont last in this nation.
Do you blame the car for the accident or the drunk idiot behind the wheel ?
@@robertlee9679 with this attitude we should see a collapse like roman empire - perhaps some civilization with family values like islam can take over. Note: I don't support this just an impartial objective observer.
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!
could he be changed using RICO legislation, the fact he's helping paediphile rings
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.
When everyone has "Dirt" on everyone, nobody really gets punished, and "We" get no justice.
Want justice delete Facebook delete the email.delete the app.delete all logs.delete your pictures once you do it's all property of Facebook for sale .I created Facebook stuff I know.
Well they don't at the top of the food chain !
The criminal syndicate will never prosecute own of there own the infiltration here in our country is deep and wide
Isn't that what's spooky about the whole social media thing.
This is true
I get the senator is angry but this style of attacking and getting angry is not solving any issues. At these hearing nothing ever gets done
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.
Those links should not exist there. Period.
He can also find that info data mining easily.
@@Threadbow I believe his point was to see/prove how honest or not and how reliable or not is Z. in his answers ... and it is obvious. Of course, the info is out there - there are not only Z's platforms.
Make your own platform if you don't like what links / numbers / symbols exist.
@@MirceaKitsune Read once again what I wrote. Yes, those links should not exist on his platforms - pedophilia is an abomination, not diversity. Go to dark web and look there for this. Not clear who highlighted you.
Wow make your safe heaven for everyone. I would like you to try.
There is no accountability in these hearings. What is the point?
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'.
@@GideonStahlhopefully they will at least lead to change. Even if the accountability is not immediate
They put this crap on there but Oh my gosh if you mention Trump and company of soldiers smack you down????????
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.
This is performance art, nothing more, nothing less, on the order of ceremonial magic, but even less effective.
That's probably the first time in Zuckerberg's entire life that he was put on the spot and wasn't able to weasel his way out
Based.
He's been called in for questioning, before.
@@CM-xr9oq. Yep, and unfortunately, it will be another smack on the wrist.
Unless he was arrested, he weaseled out again. Demonic forces control mainstream media.
@@bri-manhunter2654 to be fair senator is taking it out of context,,,,you cant find that shit on IG, its not like u press see anyway and see a child getting raped. FB is PG compared to X
also to act like you can find child content on FB and IG aint true. ive been on for years never seen anything weird in any area of weirdness, also society can just quit socials but they wont
I wouldnt care if they close down all those social media platsforms. Would be much beter for everybody.
Facts social media is fuckin up society
Agree
Agree it does nothing but harm and I work for a big tech firm
Amen
I hope it comes true. We need to back abit in time. Miss the 90s
Strong words, but like most of these hearings I doubt anything will come of it.
What would come of it? Nobody has given a single solution to any of these problems. What would you do if you ran Facebook?
@@Jorbz150 shut it down....
@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?
@@bhawnishkumar5062Nah, I agree with @DeepFriedZodd, I would also shut Facebook down.
Yes Senator Cruz, thank you for giving lying Zuckerberg hell
What will they really DO? We're sick of hearings where nobody rich is evey prosecuted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark is predator making billions with children’s abused
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
They do implicitly protect themselves, and are all part of the ''out of chaos order will come'' satanic agenda...... @@stephanie3087
There's gonna be a lot of shit happening with the ring this year. Why do you think everyone is making bunkers? This has been a shit show in the making and the draining of the swamp. This has all been a long time coming. Now 95% of the world knows.
Has anyone ever thought that social media is complete garbage especially Facebook and Instagram.
what about youtube? you know it''s social media too right?
UA-cam turning into garbage too
@@Juan_deep those are absolute terms. but absolute terms dont work here. also like cruz wantet yes or no answeres, which doesnt work there either. its not complete garbage, but there can be a tipping point reached, that some ppl feeling its complete garbage.
@@robgilmour3147yeah UA-cam is garbage too now. It used to be about individual creators making unique content, now it’s just built for the website to make money from advertisers.
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.
Yep! That’s why I deleted my Instagram a few years ago and I rarely get on Facebook.
As a 26 year old man who was raped almost every weekend by a family friend from 11 to 12, and still has serious mental health issues because of it AND ended up addicted to opiates (pills then heroin) for 5 years (I’m coming up on 3 years clean on 4/7/24), I find this utterly disgusting on every level humanly possible
It’s not easy to break those chains, despite having a perfectly good reason for the addiction. Good work finding your way out of that hole, takes a lot of guts. 👊🏼
@@TEGVB- Thank you! I appreciate the support :)
So sorry sir what happened to you congrats on being clean and Hold your head up high better days are ahead good day to you
@@jerryhopper1685 I really appreciate it! :) I hope you have a good day too
I hope people notice this. There needs to be accountability.
Is the way you as parent(s) educate your children that will define them later in life!
He’s to busy censoring republicans.
I was about to say that!!
I was about to say that!!
They censor everyone, lady... 😂 Left, right, center. Doesn't matter. When I was in the Marines 14 years ago I was a conservative Republican and got posts taken down, now I have a verified account on Instagram and can't even post normal comments without them being flagged and I'm not even a Republican anymore and haven't been for over a decade. I'm an independent. I literally call meta all the time to bitch at them but they don't care. I'm literally about to file a class action lawsuit against them. They have blocked more leftist accounts that I know personally too for no reason. Including many veteran content creators.
Yup, we know what his list of important tasks are and they aren't stopping pedos.
But yet Cambridge Analytica had free regin manipulate on FB in 2016 & 2018. I still see Russian propaganda today.
Furthermore, let's make this a bipartisan effort to radically change how social media operates. We need more officials like Ocasio Cortez and Cruz who're not afraid to dress down billionaire tech a***es on national tv
"I am not sure if we stored that" The name of the company is META they literally store everything and sell the info that is the business model!
so the real question is.. SOMEONE IS BUYING THAT INFO. WHO IS PURCHASING THAT SPECIFIC INFO?????
The democratic owners of these companies couldnt give less of a shit about our kids. As long as they are making billions, they will never stop.
But stock then you'll be part owner too
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. Don't just blame democrats and deny that Republicans might be among them
It's quite popular among Catholics, who are mostly conservative republicans to be interested in those things.

I would say the same about FOX News and our boomers.
Well there's money to be made
Heavy facts, I was on social media alot. Ever since I stopped, only then you begin to see all the dangers of using these platforms. Your reality is warped, your mental health declines when being on these apps, and that is a fact
These CEOs should be prosecuted and put in prison for child abuse
You should email Senator Cruz and asked why he was in favor of revoking section 230 before he then was against revoking section 230.
And for treason, and interference with elections
I refuse to be active on FB because it adds value and column to the creeps being questioned here today
Why not put the parents in jail, they actually bought them the phone
@@RevansHalo people can change their views but you’ll never be a woman x
Charge and covict them of sex trafficking

only the parents of the kids that were effected should see punishment.
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.
So the idea behind that "see results anyway" is essentially if a group of people did not like your ideas and posts they might just spam report you. If you immediately blocked every potentially criminal post then no one would be able to post anything, because it would just be getting blocked everytime.
Why aren't they allowed to be sued??? Why?? Why can't you, the govt, sue him for not following through with what he agreed to do at the last hearings?? WHY IS HE NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE?? WE NEED MORE COMPANIES BEING HELD LIABLE WITH PENALTIES, NOT PAYOUTS!!!!

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.
Exactly, they never care about it,but instantly remove my comments if i talk about terrorism or similar related to a particular religion
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.
Hearing , hearing everywhere but not a single being to held accountable. 😊
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
The thing is parents shouldn’t be giving there kids phones to begin with nor be allowed to use any social media it’s good Ted Cruz is brutal with him.
Both should be responsible, the parents and the companies
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.
Exactly
@@anymaru that’s what ruining teens today are cell phones there not mature enough nor responsible by using them.
WHY do they keep having these hearing? Nobody is Ever held Accountable & they Never answer the questions!
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.
because its getting close to voting time and they want people to think they are doing something so they can get some votes
To present a public image that they give a damn
On the contrary..this guy forks alot of money over to goverment for violations as this. Follow the money as well
As a 33 years old I am proud I have no social media. I used to have Facebook profile, but was hacked and this was a real blessing for me.
He calls him "Sucker-berg". I support!
I would say he called him that because Zucker called all the people who surrendered their personal information while Facebook was in its infancy “suckers”

This is a disgusting world we live in evil has to be stopped
Agreed.
Commented from UA-cam
Then stop it brother who's stopping u ?
It's not gonna stop. It's just gonna get worse.
It was evil after all
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.
What good are these hearings if this ROBOT goes back tomorrow and keep on going - business as usual.
Senat will not protect your children nor will the big tech companies.....your children are their target....get that right.
YOU parents have the power - why do you give your power away so easily? To such thugs?
As much as I dislike Mark Zuckerberg, at least let him answer the question
OMG! This world is totally nuts!
And how do people end up nuts? Mainly parents. The apples don't fall far from the trees. We waste our time talking about the world's problems if we don't also shine a huge light on all the bad parenting out there.
Most of the world is shifting towards less conservative lifestyles. Rejecting religion and it's values and just living life as they see fit.
Not saying that the world should turn to religion, but there is no evil in practising religion. Been proven to develop discipline, love and humility.
The world is taking a weird turn for the worst. Especially with the Internet's inevitable contribution to globalisation... it will only get worse and worse.
Parents will raise children so poorly and that'll create a vicious cycle for the future generations to struggle with.@@acegikm
Literally.
ah bon, tu le vois seulement maintenant??
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.
Isn't child porn an actual issue? @@MirceaKitsune
O I'm sure there doing way worse things then that after leaving, who are they kidding?!? Not me.

Ted Cruz is so good at this. Netflix level good. Good Job mr Senator.
I guess no one wants to talk about the absence of parents in making sure they know and screen what their children are looking at ?
good point. and how many politicians use Instagram???
I was a parental hawk to the point that I was often teased about being overprotective...
It wasn't enough....
We can't put them in our back pockets, and schools, courts, and social workers have stripped parents of parental rights.
They're currently removing children from parents who don't promote the desire of their elementary school children to go through gender transformation.
My children are adults. 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.....
@@Narrow-Pather nobody is stripping away your parental rights, unless you are a parent who subjects your child to an unsafe environment.
@@CM-xr9oq the criteria of what determines an environment to be "unsafe" appears to be quite corrupt.

The rate alleged 'hate speech' is dealt with on FB compared to the vagueness of the child abuse regulating is astounding, rather frightening too.
Because videos and photos cant be easily removed by bots and AI. It requires human review. Deleting based on words or phrases is easy as hell for a simple bot to handle.

I usually don't like Ted Cruz. But for this I'm behind him 💯. Go get them!!
He’s acting. This is all a display to make it appear as if they want to end sex trafficking instead of profit off of it.
If you are really worried about your kids... Take away their phones, or watch them while they surf the net.
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.
❤❤❤❤❤ Ted Cruz ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for your direct verbage and seeing through the bullsh!t.
Cruz is BS! This is all for his political career!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg. Lmao
People can't handle the Internet. That's where society took it's worst turn.
Of course preteens and most teens can’t handle the World Wide Web being at their fingertips
Social media should only be 18+
Agree.
Agree
You cannot apply such a system unless you implement a camera feature that will allow one to take a picture of your government given I.D. Otherwise anyone can lie about their name, age, city, etc.
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.
Ted Cruz should have been an actor on daytime television. It’s bad acting, everyone knows it’s bad acting and yet he just continues.
Social media has made children and teenagers very superficial
Couldn't agree more - that's why I avoid it like the plague. Actually, it's made our entire culture extremely superficial. Everybody's performing, seeking to be "liked" and the word "friend" has lost its meaning.
It is sad I agree friend is just another word like shit and fuck it doesn’t mean anything to this generation
Cruz does not even know what happens if they click on "see results anyway".
or rather he probably does and don't want to say he got reported.
Republicans like this guy deceive people.
It's not social medias fault. It's the parents of children for not monitoring them. If you're waiting on the government to protect your kids they already lost.
And women!
Take it to him, Ted!!!!
He wants to go back to the Senate.. he doesn't care about the people ..
Shocking
It's illegal to host these images. We should be able to sue all of the social media companies that do not remove these images. Section 230 needs to go away. Social media companies are violating the law as we speak by hosting them and not removing them.
YOU PARENTS GIVE THEM THE F***** PHONES ?!?!?!?! This drives me up a wall. How about as parents you quit falling to pressure to what your entitled child “wants” and say NO!!!!
and as young as 6 years old already holding a phone
Social media is a cesspool, especially nowadays generation...
I somewhat miss the old forum days, mostly to follow hobbies like cars. A limited selection of emojis was a big deal!
As a parent, it's yours, and my responsibility to watch over our children and what they are watching or reading. Not the CEO'S of these companies. Parents, take some responsibility for what has happened to your kids.
Well said
I agree, but the fact that these social media companies aren't doing more to monitor and remove this material is also something that needs to be addressed. Yes, parents have responsibility to what their child sees and does on these platforms, but the parent cannot be there hovering 24/7 either.
@@SheaRoberts suggest what more can be done? they r alr doing a lot. the onus is on you as well
Finally a smart answer !!
But, what about covid, Ucrânian 🇺🇦 war, and climate changes? He censorship everyone who tries to discuss or post something against narratives! Why not the same for this Real critical matter?
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.
They are going to have another hearing on this hearing to see what all the hearings are about is what I am hearing.
That's funny as sh*t. And wise
Can you HEAR ME NOW ❓❓❓❓❓
lol yep👍
😂😂😂
When the government wants to go places that they are not allowed but Facebook is everywhere and they want to bring Facebook down for a long time this is getting ridiculous and if they want to solve this problem easy and simple DONT GIVE PHONE OR TABLETS TO YOUR KIDS because that’s your responsibility plus there’s more words places on the dark wed and yes kids this days are different and not matter what apps private policy said they find their way,is time to start taking actions in your home before you start giving hard times to others apps

@@asjohnson8989its a witch hunt so Goodluck with that.

Trumps probably one of the people that clicks see results anyway...
Why does the blame not get aimed at the parents at all? Ultimately, a child only has access to what their parents allow them to have access to.
Because the Republicans are waging a campaign on social media because they feel the social media companies restricted their free speech. So it has to be the social media companies fault not the parents fault.
The great irony here is Republicans want families to have responsibility to discuss issues like gender politics with their kids not schools. On this issue suddenly it isnt the families responsibility, its the social media companies. The Republicans are cherry picking when they want the family to be responsible and when they want a third party to be responsible.
Its inconsistent & really all about theatre & politics. Its BS
if you want someone to blame all you have to do is look at a mirror.
-V😉
I think I understand your point but the point of this hearing is about someone allowing child pornography to be displayed on social media, which is a different thing than "hey I don't want my kid to use Facebook", for example.
@@ArielGTAcS Thats naive. This hearing is an attack on social media by the likes of Ted Cruz in a response to the belief that social media was repressing conservative voices. The hearing has no real power. Its purely a GOP publicity stunt trying to win votes using social media & paedophilia as levers.
Kids mostly become more tech-savvy than their parents and kids have no problem getting around that through numerous means.

Senator Ted, with all due respect refrain your 2 kids from using all social media. Take responsibility as the parents.
Every parents have responsibilities to protect their children from social medias.
exactly!
Parents don’t care what happens to their kids
Fax 💯
Explain how that's possible, apart from mass government shutdowns of the internet: a parent cant watch their kid 100% of the time, and if just one kid gets a phone, it spreads like a virus. You cant ban these devices. There is unfortunately no easy solution to this problem as "better parenting!" How many parents are single parents who have to work 2 jobs? Life is hard
@@cfcub9733 you mean kids? kids mean 1-10 years old?

what does it do?

These hearings are so useless! Never any action taken!
What are and your 90 'Like' ers doing to help stop it ?
Interesting that they get these 'choices' when it is no doubt child sex trafficking.... I got put on strict restriction because I commented on a movie that Netflix posted on Facebook and i was coming against pedophilia...
They are NOT trying to protect, they are trying to promote.
Thank you Senator Cruz!!!!! 👨🏻⚖️⚡️
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.
Wat? I'm Gen Y and both Yahoo Chat and ICQ launched when I was still in elementary school. If you're a millennial then you're younger than me.
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
Calm down 😂
Iv said this alot we are blessed .
There are no bunkers strong enough to protect the evil from the wrath of the Lord.
Oh yeah - God knows where they will be!
I don't comprehend how social media is still allowed for kids under 18 in the US, and how Mark Zuckerberg isn't in prison. Disgusting 🤢
I have lost all respect for Mark. Respect is earned.
You once had respect for him?
So what did he do to earn your respect before it was lost?
Took long
You lost WHAT!?
Imagine having respect for someone like him
Here's a wild thought.
IF you know that phones and social media are bad for your kids and teens don't give them a phone.
These hearings do absolutely nothing.
The kids will find a way to get phones and can get on social media on any device. Unfortunately this is where we are with technology. It’s ruined society in my opinion. People like Zuckerberg have no morals! It’s all about the money! Don’t forget he and his wife donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the corrupt democrats!
You or a kid can use cash to buy gift cards to purchase prepaid phones or a Tracfone or just buy the phones in cash. Target, Walmart, even some gas stations sell these phones. Totally untraceable. Plus whats to stop them from buying a phone and keeping with a friend or something?
Exactly!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
You clearly aren't a parent to teenagers
@@srso4660 have a 14 and a 16 year old
PARENTS ARE ACCOUNTABLE!!
This issue has been a known for years. Your kid doesn't need a phone beyond an Apple watch for basic calls. Computers have parental settings. Wise up!
Maybe you should learn about Twitch, for instance. It's supposed to be for 13+. You can find so-called, "soft," porn on there anyway. Should parents know literally _everything_ that exists on the internet? You have no idea what you are talking about.
A friend's son knew how to get around every parental block his dad, a programmer, put in place. He and his friends even knew how to get past the firewalls on the school & library computers.
Only instilling strong moral, God-based character in a child can work.
Sounds like something a person who would touch a kid would say….
@@brendahughes3277as a tech kid I can bypass fire walls and parental controls so yes it can be done
@@MyName-tb9ozi agree completely because twitch has become a soft core porn site in order to stay relevant
Mark is just a front! Nothing is going to happen.
So you're saying that on your server you have child sexual abuse images. Why aren't you in prison right now Marky?
Only if you are an oppressed civilian fighting for the right to exist
Because Zuck is apart of the protected class
Don't mean to be that guy, but I think in general social media platforms are protected from legal liability for content posted by their users. Without such a clause it would be impossible for many apps to exist.
@@SmashHighlights pretty stupid since the difference here is the website is actively promoting illegal content. It can censor specific people with incredible accuracy, but is flawed enough to where it’s not their fault when this starts to pop up.

Next topic: REMOVE BEING ABLE TO SELL OUR INFORMATION!!!!!!!
Their is NO WAY to opt out if we want to use any app or platform!
I have reported drug sells, sex acts with minors etc. They never remove anything reported
They allow women to show their business on the story feed, yet block people who want to make a post or add a meme that is about Jesus 😢😢😢

I think exposing children to 'Jesus' might be worse than women showing their business.
At any rate, for the latter there is a plethora of porn channels.
@@nicolaasstempels8207you’re the problem with society.

How? Because someone doesn't believe in your religion that you have no way of proving in anyway possible way other than "hey this is my faith". But of course you will continue to overlook the obvious manipulation of Christianity to whatever fits someone's narrative.
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!
Right, social media is a cancer, not only under age but adults too have become un social & wasted.
Yes. This comment on social media has made me see the light. Ditching my smartphone for a 90s Nokia.

People will still commit suicide and you won't have to know about it.
WTH is this guy thinking? Zuckerberg? I'm glad Senator Ted Cruz asked these questions. This needs to be corrected by Zuckerberg. JC...
Zuckerberg - “I’m not sure if we save that data” - who the flip does he think he’s kidding?? They record EVERYTHING! lol
Yep, that's a load of bullshit from Zuckerbot, I made a comment 10 years ago on FB and a few months ago I got a 24 hour ban because "it went against their community standards"
What standards 😂😂
I don't know if he personally has it, but his company def has. If someone is even remotely questionable it shouldn't be allowed to be uploaded in the first place.
Nothing happens in these hearings
Yup, waste of time. Why bother?
Once I clicked on a link on fb that immediately lead to an image of I won’t say what it was, I immediately reported it and closed fb and turned my phone off because I was honestly afraid I just broke the law. It was disgusting what I saw and this person is disgusting
doesnt matter if you clicked it off a micro second ,you are now registered as having seen it
🎯
Yeah, i tried to record and compile evidence of the ridiculous amount that can be found on social media as a means of reporting it and trying to solve the issue by bringing it to light and got arrested, you made the right decision.
