Exactly. FB has been heavily censoring and micro banning conservative content or people. Most my conservative friends were blocked from FB for nothing except expressing their personal political beliefs. They did absolutely no bullying or posting of anything that would warrant such action. Meanwhile I watched as many of my liberal friends on FB have their political posts shared constantly and aggressively, many with bullying content and even some showing very crude and violent depictions of Trump. But if you said anything in an even slightly negative tone against Biden, FB would block you. And then we come to find out how much child porn and other drug and sex trafficking activity has been going on on FB, and we're supposed to believe that Zuckerberg and FB "didn't know"? That's hogwash. They have been manipulating their logarithms to only show certain content, and allowing much worse content.
Whose fault is that? Facebook, or the assholes in the federal govt twisting their arm in order to censor Americans who have done nothing wrong, other than have the wrong political opinion?
9 FB suspensions in 2021. Things like vaccine effectiveness and Hunter Biden's laptop. But here's the strange thing. I wasn't wrong. I was suspended for being right.
I posted a picture of a squirrel with a superman suit on underneath of it. No caption no nothing. And Facebook said it goes against their community standards. I had to write them and they said oh OK it doesn’t. But yet when I reported my 87 year old Facebook account being duplicated not once but twice and it had pictures of her little five year old granddaughter on it- they wrote me back and said we’ll wait till she reports somebody stole her account! So you tell me Mr. Z what in the heck are you really doing because you are not doing stuff for the people safety or children safety. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Meta never responds to hacked accounts, I reported last year and I contacted California AG and Oklahoma AG and I made demand letter and nobody responded much and Oklahoma gave me a message from Facebook that didn’t make sense!
He may be the most just judge I've ever seen in a flesh and blood man. God bless and protect him, all of humanity should be willing to also. Anything less seems it wouldn't be human.

These congressmen need to ask each CEO, under oath, if their school age children are on TikTok or Insta. The answer is “no” bc these guys aren’t dumb and they know exactly what it does and they protect their own children.
Who are you kidding friend? Even though you are absolutely correct. The so-called 'parents' that are supposed to practise this responsibility....are ALL 'converted'.....ages ago.
Nope. Tie things up in the courts for 20-30 years... continue to buy off Government officials to change the law while the cases are tied up in court... delay and obfuscate. Only PARENTS can protect their children. Sadly, feminism and social media have destroyed PARENTS in favor of the State (just like the Commies planned back in the 50's). Read "The Naked Communist" and tell me I am wrong.
The questions should be why they are totally UNTOUCHABLE and how the hell that came about? Society are skirting around the issue, as do these so-called TOOTHLESS hearings.

It's more than time to hold EVERY social media and main stream media accountable for their actions and inactions in NOT protecing children and social media users & members!!
I'm with senator Kennedy all I hear is yada yada yada we do this to protect kids we do that to protect kids if that's the case then why does the exploitation of children on social media continue to rise I'll tell you why it's because these tech companies have facilitated a market off child exploitation for profit all while avoiding litigation
They shouldn't just sue them for monetary compensation to those whose relatives have been injured because of these platforms. They need to take punitive actions to the owners and employees that have made those things possible, either by action or inaction. If jail is a possibility, it's the only way things are going to change for the better. They have enough money to pay any sue, lobbies and lawyers.

Because of the algorithm you can successfully manage your marketplace, but who knows what else it's capable of doing. I don't have Facebook it was invented by a child in the first place!

Priceless! Kudos to Senator Kennedy's informed questioning! "If you think Instagram is not harming young teens, you shouldn't be driving" he says to Zuckerberg! Right on! In a perfect world, we'd nationalize social media and sentence Zuckerberg to a lifetime of community service sorting mail at the USPS.
Seriously! People would be outside, meeting their real neighbors, helping the community, inventing things to help people in the world, getting exercise, exploring the world.
There is an old documentary, I watched in 2016, one of the big guys of Facebook, talking about his children being forbidden from participating, as he knew, the addictive behaviour embedded in it.
Kennedy is absolutely right about the "hot buttons." I noticed Facebook was doing that, and that it kept me in a bad mood. So I stopped using Facebook.
Australia sued them. A woman from fb said yes they conduct experiments through the users feed. To see if someone gets depressed or angry if they only receive posts that are negative. They treat people as rats in a maze. He admits in this video that they have done experiments and they should do more.
6:45 When the He says it is 'free', it really makes me wonder. Isn't there a significant cost in terms of our privacy, potential manipulation, and the vast amount of time we invest in it? These ongoing hearings also point to deeper issues. It seems a narrow perspective to consider the service 'free' just because it doesn't cost money. What about the value of the things that are more important than money? Aren't they part of the cost we're paying?

I left social media months ago I feel that it affected my attention span and found myself endlessly scrolling through the algorithm. Now I’m not saying social media is bad but it held me back from everyday life and having real experiences I find myself much happier now.
Technically, UA-cam is a form of social media now too, so it’s inaccurate to say you “left it” when you are posting a comment on one of those platforms. I’m not trying to be pedantic, especially considering I am also commenting on UA-cam, but it is worth noting that this platform has suffered the same scrutiny associated with other media platforms censoring information, using algorithms to push topics that they deem fit your interests, and likely containing content that should not be available online (or anywhere for that matter).
Good for you. A truer statement has not been said. If you read my post, I said basically the same thing. Pushing hate and warping minds is not healthy.
Also, by the way them sure are some good looking alligators you got down there in Louisiana the new ones that I’ve seen astounding !!!!

I hit delete account, but then they give you like a 3 month grace period just in case you decide you dont want to get rid of it So 2 months, 6 months almost a year goes by and one day my wife tells me im getting birthday notifications. I was like what?! I swear I deleted that. Have no idea what happened. But whats crazy about it, even if you deleted it, thaf information is still out tbere. Its getting to the point that even if you never had facebook; whats not to say thwt couldnt just make a fake profile if you and use it againsr you. thats what is wild.
What sucks is that a truly honest company would acknowledge their faults and work with those that criticize them in order to help the public out of compassion. The truly evil ones will deny it all and refuse to do anything for the public, doubling down on their abuse.
There aren't any truly honest companies. At least not billion dollar ones. They only care about money and power. Even google (youtube) is likely recording all your viewed videos, up/down votes, and comments, parsing the data with AI and making a profile of who you are (likes, political views, etc) and tying it to your IP and any other identifiable info. That could in theory then get passed to any fed dept if they wished. There was a story a few years back that a dad discovered his daughter was pregnant before she told him, because the department store she was shopping at was logging all her in store purchases and mapping it to mailing address. They mailed the house with advertisements and coupons for baby supplies for your new addition. Our data is the product and it can be formed as a weapon against us.
John Kennedy should get a small part in a Coen brothers movie or something. He is such a character, usually hilarious, even in the face of deadly serious issues. His interrogations are always on point.

Same thing on UA-cam.
These companies are absolutely countries. I am glad to see a senator saying this.
It might go much deeper it could possibly be the reason why our children have been brainwashed !
you mean woke communist teachers union been lying to the kids..... duh for about 50 years now
naw
Because of the algorithm you can successfully manage your marketplace, but who knows what else it's capable of doing. I don't have Facebook it was invented by a child in the first place!
No, kids are brainwashed because the school system raises them more than their parents time wise!! Then they go home to parents that are often brainwashed too.
Wow did anyone else catch what he said? He literally said that not getting bribes from Google is the main reason, (its the first one out of his mouth), for all this hearing bs; NOT YOUR CHILDREN.
Senator John Kennedy is my spirit animal.
Unless Facebook doesn't like your post and they send you to Facebook jail for a few weeks!
UA-cam TOO!
We have investigated our self and found nothing wrong.
😂😂😂😂 EXACTLY 💯 👏
*ourselves
math was not my goodest subject.!....lol@@cedmo7857
Maybe all sherif departments need to send police reports to him. Showing the child disappeared after the abductor (adult) pretends to be an underage boy and plans to pick her up and she’s never seen or heard from again..
@@cedmo7857Woah
It's a good thing we got you here to clear up the confusion. I almost did not understand what he meant by "our self"
Your doing God's work by correcting grammar to random users online.
(Actually just go touch some grass maybe)
They do not care!
Yes they do!
I've dealt with these people in ways you wouldn't even believe me , They are classic enablers , If they make or allow the bad thing to happen so they can later use it to get control of something ,
i love this guy! John Kennedy your the best!
"I wounder if our technology is greater than our humanity" That statement right there hit the nail on the head.
Mark thought it was. In his stupidity. So did many of these “companies”.
Despite legend said fallen angels hybrid /terrestrial being are the main source /foundation for our modern tech is sad and terrified..
I love Senator Kennedy beyond words!!!! ❤
Lifelong liberal here. John Kennedy is a marvel. Loved this
Lifelong liberal.. meaning you still are ? so you agree with what's going world wide ? the woke mob, the depravity in schools and "grooming" (to stay PC on youtube).. if you want examples i can try but my comment will be hidden by the bot, just by writting or giving source to my claims.
but if you want to make your own research please do. MAP people love the left and liberal ideology.
Priceless! Kudos to Senator Kennedy's informed questioning! "If you think Instagram is not harming young teens, you shouldn't be driving" he says to Zuckerberg! Right on! In a perfect world, we'd nationalize social media and sentence Zuckerberg to a lifetime of community service sorting mail at the USPS.
Nationalize?
I trust the Federal Government even less than these big corporations.
Kent State 1977 a professor said if you read article you should read 2 more from different perspectives..He is right.
John K. thank you for being a person of respect and truth in a dark and difficult matter.
the basic agreement you cant have a conversation on FB because they decide whats right or wrong
So why didn’t these people cut off TikTok when they had a chance to vote it out . I think Chinese money .
these politicians are bought by china dollars
you think ..... i think ..we all think......chicom money
@@jeffhood-s2q i scream,you scream,we all scream ,for ice cream
Agree 💯 percent
Imagine how great this world would have been without social media
Seriously! People would be outside, meeting their real neighbors, helping the community, inventing things to help people in the world, getting exercise, exploring the world.
I can't even cuss on my "own" Facebook page without getting banned for a week.
Bullshit. Why make up lies?
I absolutely adore you, Mister Senator! You make learning about politics very interesting. Thanks for being SO ethical.
Holding their feet to the fire. Love this man.
Lets have the same level of feet holding with gun companies..
Get rid of Tik tok
please before it's too late
AGREED! Been saying that since it started.
I stopped using fb years years ago
Me too.
you should stop using UA-cam then
@@msioug you should stop commenting
Eight years for me.
The same here but longer
John Kennedy is the best. “Mr Zuckerberg, you’re in the foothills of creepy.”
Foothills nope Zuckerburger is near the top
Justice ⚖️ finally
There is an old documentary, I watched in 2016, one of the big guys of Facebook, talking about his children being forbidden from participating, as he knew, the addictive behaviour embedded in it.
Link or more data, so others can find the documentary you mentioned, please.
And they can hear everything we say at home!
Kennedy is absolutely right about the "hot buttons." I noticed Facebook was doing that, and that it kept me in a bad mood. So I stopped using Facebook.
Australia sued them. A woman from fb said yes they conduct experiments through the users feed. To see if someone gets depressed or angry if they only receive posts that are negative. They treat people as rats in a maze. He admits in this video that they have done experiments and they should do more.
What does yada yada yada mean? I'm not familiar with that term, Senator. Kennedy, "very uncool." Kennedy is the coolest 😎 of all.
6:45 When the He says it is 'free', it really makes me wonder. Isn't there a significant cost in terms of our privacy, potential manipulation, and the vast amount of time we invest in it? These ongoing hearings also point to deeper issues. It seems a narrow perspective to consider the service 'free' just because it doesn't cost money. What about the value of the things that are more important than money? Aren't they part of the cost we're paying?
Parents please protect your children from social media!!!!!!! #ProtectOurChildren
This is a parenting issue not an online safety issue.
If you try to sanitize everything soon you'll be going after music with explicit lyrics like it's the 80s.
@@adamjutras7024wrong, you can not put the responsibility on the parents.. social media is everywhere. Did you always listen to your parents? You never done anything your parents told you not to do?? 🤣🤣
@@bennykofoed2975 I did and I didn't. I actually thought for myself. That's no reason to bubblewrap the world. Understanding them and taking time to guide your children through these changing times will go a lot further for both the individual and society. Being overprotective only stunts growth, we're highly adaptive creatures.
Teach your children young and it will be okay if taught well
@@user-vv1ml5pv5k I think it's unfortunate. But privacy matters. If you think a small amount of people should cost EVERYONE their PRIVACY. You are insane.
I left social media months ago I feel that it affected my attention span and found myself endlessly scrolling through the algorithm. Now I’m not saying social media is bad but it held me back from everyday life and having real experiences I find myself much happier now.
Same. I became depressed and overloaded with useless information. Much better living the real live.
Technically, UA-cam is a form of social media now too, so it’s inaccurate to say you “left it” when you are posting a comment on one of those platforms. I’m not trying to be pedantic, especially considering I am also commenting on UA-cam, but it is worth noting that this platform has suffered the same scrutiny associated with other media platforms censoring information, using algorithms to push topics that they deem fit your interests, and likely containing content that should not be available online (or anywhere for that matter).
Good for you. A truer statement has not been said. If you read my post, I said basically the same thing. Pushing hate and warping minds is not healthy.
You didn’t leave shit, you’re using social media right now💀
@@Spaceroy80I wrote a similar comment, but UA-cam somehow made it “disappear”.
Congress working together for our children safety online! Thank you 🙏
I miss the 80's
I miss the pre industrial age
Senator Kennedy you Rock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kennedy is like Andy Griffith
LOL, no...he's not
@@sean4661
You're right. Kennedy doesn't need writers
Yeah and he solved every case too. By being respectful....old school.
can you tell me why it is old school to be respectful@@KB-ke3fi
because woke dont teach respect
Senator Kennedy ~~~~ BASED🎯
Aren’t we glad we didn’t grow up with social media? Leaving the house and coming home when the street lights come on. Life was simpler.
Agree 💯 percent
I miss the 80's
Don’t people still do that
Also, by the way them sure are some good looking alligators you got down there in Louisiana the new ones that I’ve seen astounding !!!!
Thank you for your support in this mattered in reference to the media companies. Looking forward to seeing you and speaking with you again soon. Have a blessed day.
Droid gators
When are we gonna see them? Start painting paintings instead of the mission that they are on LOL 😂
I think that they might be able to give that elephant in the San Francisco zoo I run for money on the paintings .
Thank you Senator Kennedy for an excellent evaluation of the situation. We have been dealing with this for way too long. Mark's responses, show he has absolutely no concern for ANY of his users. It is all about his greed. We are taking back our lives, our Country, and America 🇺🇸 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vote Trump 2024 🇺🇸 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make America Trump Again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just go to the grocery store and you’ll know you’re in a recession. It’s insanity
Or the gas station same thing there to!
Or heaven forbid trying to purchase a home at an affordable price or even worse getting a loan at these interest rates would be comical if not so sad
@@michaeldice7459 You are so right! Why go from a solid 3% mortgage to a 7%???
P.S. FJB.
@@brianmcgovern9005 no idea what you talking about gas prices been tumbling down.
@@Klote3241 Really where??? We were at $2.85 two days ago today it's $3.05 and on the rise again..........FJB.
They all do this. They read the brochure but never answer the question that is being asked.
Perhaps there should be no algorthiums. Problem solved.
Look i don't like the CEOs any more than you do but...
... if a man murders another man by hitting him in the face with a shovel until he is dead... do you then sue the shovel maker?
Gotta' respect Sen Kennedy.
Old mens club
I've started deleting my many pages and friends and getting ready to delete my whole account because I'm so fed up with Facebook.
Good luck. I was in the process of deleting mine. I hit delete account, but then they give you like a 3 month grace period just in case you decide you dont want to get rid of it So 2 months, 6 months almost a year goes by and one day my wife tells me im getting birthday notifications. I was like what?! I swear I deleted that. Have no idea what happened. But whats crazy about it, even if you deleted it, thaf information is still out tbere. Its getting to the point that even if you never had facebook; whats not to say thwt couldnt just make a fake profile if you and use it againsr you. thats what is wild.
What sucks is that a truly honest company would acknowledge their faults and work with those that criticize them in order to help the public out of compassion.
The truly evil ones will deny it all and refuse to do anything for the public, doubling down on their abuse.
There aren't any truly honest companies. At least not billion dollar ones. They only care about money and power.
Even google (youtube) is likely recording all your viewed videos, up/down votes, and comments, parsing the data with AI and making a profile of who you are (likes, political views, etc) and tying it to your IP and any other identifiable info. That could in theory then get passed to any fed dept if they wished.
There was a story a few years back that a dad discovered his daughter was pregnant before she told him, because the department store she was shopping at was logging all her in store purchases and mapping it to mailing address. They mailed the house with advertisements and coupons for baby supplies for your new addition. Our data is the product and it can be formed as a weapon against us.
hey leave cnn out of this
Could say the same thing about Remington
Exactly
This man is a criminal for what he's doing and should definitely be sued!
John Kennedy should get a small part in a Coen brothers movie or something. He is such a character, usually hilarious, even in the face of deadly serious issues. His interrogations are always on point.
Love this,
Immpossible unless we stop it from its source
This is when money blinds u our children needs to be protected 100 percent its disgraceful period
Senator Kennedy is a hoot😂😂. He comes across like a hillbilly, but his integrity, wisdom, intelligence, and sense of humor is amazing. A great man.
Parents ,convince the youth that these applications , Facebook , instagram are not required for normal youth and life
Love you Kennedy ❤
Make law that allows parents to sue these platforms!
better yet parents should be responsible and have their kids wait longer than 13 years old before hopping into the cesspool that is social media
