These social media companies had no problem censoring COVID and election “disinformation” when they wanted to. They absolutely could do more to clamp down on these things, like child trafficking and sextortion
And they are for castrating kids because they might commit s()1c14e, we can’t express ourselves against this on social media, but when it come to the safety of kids on social media, they don’t care! Double standards!
I agree with your awesomely good point 100%. What's worse is the fb cult seemed to relish in the idea of accusing conservatives of spreading Russian disinformation while spewing out some of the most ridiculous claims imaginable. But, it doesn't make congressional inquiries into social media companies (all except TikTok, of course) any less of a distraction. Anyways, I'm still confused. What's wrong with making cell phones just as safe for children as automobiles? See what I just did. Not only did I agree with everything you just said, I actually doubled down on your point. However, I can't shake this feeling as if I'm being distracted. Are you a member of the Chinese Communist party?
There is certainly more that big tech can do to protect children, however, the parents are the first and best line of defense for their children, and the parents should own their massive part in this problem.
same w education. its not the schools - although they are failing-- if your kid can't read. YOU are their first line of defense as a parent. if your child is not at grade level-- then it's the parents fault do something else.
I’m just starting but I agree but so glad Trump lost cause I wld never thought this happen if not 4 him .. to expose the D are doing and WHO, CDC, MSM, Gates ..etc wld have skated …
Sorry, I am not from America, so could someone explain why a president would leverege a national border in exchange for a "deal"? Shouldn't the national border just be protected full stop?
Most Americans want the border closed. Dems are doing it to win elections. They are “buying “ the future votes of these illegals. Give-aways convince these weak minded people to vote for the democrats. The liberal left is evil. They are willing to destroy the country just to win office. Sick people.
There's a writing to the effect that hardly anyone is ever charged with treason. Not because it's not being committed, but because none dare call it treason. It was quoted in the movie "JFK," the original act that put us on the road to where we are today.
It's incoherent. Trump can't make any deals since he isn't in office. The idea that Trump has anything to do with this is insane. Biden doesn't need any deals. He can shut the border down today.
Love you Megyn i enjoy your shows a lot one of your best today,always great guests and you have a wonderful personality and are a very caring person as well besides your smarts and beauty !
We as a family have not allowed our son to be on ANY SOCIAL MEDIA. PERIOD. He thanks us bc he sees how his peers cannot even have a conversation. They don't know how! They literally text each other walking side by side. We are definitely losing generations of young people.
Thanks for saying this. I actually feel like the GOP are being hypocritical here. This isn’t going to happen to your kid. Bc you’re taking active precautions to protect your child. The GOP is supposed to be the party of parents rights. But they can’t have it both ways. And Facebook at the end of the day is a business. They’re not babysitters. No matter what FB does it’s impossible to be foolproof. And if it’s not Facebook it’s going to be some other app. I’m no fan of Zuckerberg but on this particular one he’s being held to an impossible and unfair double standard. And I feel like it’s letting parents off the hook - they’re trying to pass the buck. It’s so wrong he had to apologize. This was the parent’s responsibility.
@angelarogerson6861 Thank you! He was ridiculed at school bc he didn't have the latest phone. But his phone was intended for "emergency use only." He just rolls his eyes as he walks to and from classes. He can't wait for college.
@@getoncourse4621 Thank you for responding. We are very lucky that he's a good kid and has a mind of his own with strong convictions and opinions. High school is definitely not worth the hype. He can't wait for college.
The American people are saying “HARD NO!”. The border issue is its own issue and adding any other BS into a bill regarding the U.S. immigration crisis, is frankly just that (BS). Period.
@sherialbillar6218 Absolutely agree with you and many other conservatives (and Independents) on this point. Why does every stinkin’ bill which is designed to address one critical issue come laden with appropriations for a bunch of other things not even related to that single issue? It is so disingenuous!
Guys, can we PLEASE stop talking about Taylor Swift?! I am so sick of hearing about her on any front. I feel like I couldn't escape Dylan Mulvaney stories a few months ago, now it's Taylor Swift. STOP IT.
Kudos, Megyn, for having (and proud to say my fellow Georgian) former Speaker Gringrich on your show as often as you do! He contunies to be the brilliant voice of reason whom I absolutely love hearing speak. And, I love your show! Thank you for being out there every day for us!
Caution!! Agree that SM is polluting and harming so many children in particular, but our liberties need to be guarded. The Gov and those CEO’s are working together!! Keep that in mind.
Really appreciate Carolla’s ‘all roads lead to narcissism’. Beyond true, screaming ‘Yes!’ It’s egregious and making everything worse & its way out of control.
Maybe it's time for parents to delete their FB and other media platforms to model to their children that it is not necessary to live a productive healthy life
It was incredibly smart for Florida and Texas to move a ton of these people to these Dem states. I has their attention after years of trying to get the positions and public living in non-border states to care.
We should know everything about our representatives. They are public servants. They should't know anything about us. We are private citizens. We have it backwards.
Why hasn't Josh Hawley persuaded his colleagues to create laws that would solve the problems? That is what senators are supposed to do. That's what he is being paid to do, not to give speeches criticizing people. Josh Hawley and the entire Congress have failed miserably.
I love your show daily, but this one EXCEEDS expectation. Speaker Gingrich always has uplifting insights on even depressing issues. Your spontaneous combustibility paired with Adam Carolla's cold jaded sarcasm is the irresistible force meeting the immovable object. THANK YOU for facts, fun & farce. 3F RATING
Megyn, all of this uproar about internet safety is not about keeping kids safe. It’s because they can’t push through the Online Safety Act (UK) and other free speech inhibiting laws that various countries have passed recently. They will also try to force us all to get the digital ID that Nikki Hailey talked about. This is not about safety. It’s about sneaking in methods of control.
I'm SO proud of Senator Josh Hawley, for pressing Zuckerbucks SO hard for that apology! Someone said that a forced apology is better than no apology and I'd have to agree! LOVED that! And I was EXTREMELY proud of those families for coming to make a stand for their kids and for ALL of the kids in America! Kids in every nation, except China! The CCP doesn't allow THEIR OWN kids to be exposed to THEIR OWN terrible apps!
Blaming the deaths of children on the design of big tech is like blaming guns for school shootings. We can ask big tech and social media to engineer more safeguards into their products..But it is the adults and parents who need to educate limit and protect children from the harm of social media.
Ah-men I couldn't agree more. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out your children shouldn't be on tiktok shouldn't be on Facebook Etc. Parents need to take some goddamn responsibility already
I'm struggling BIG TIME with the requirement that social media companies are responsible for protecting kids. That's a parent's job. Look in the mirror, parents. Stop trying to be their friend and PARENT. JUST SAY NO. This isn't hard.
I understand the concerns of parents. However, parents take responsibility for not letting their children play in traffic. The same should be true for parents taking responsibility for not letting their children on social media.
If you as a parent don’t or can’t understand an app or platform- THEN YOUR CHILDREN SHOULDN’T BE ON IT. Plain and simple. Parents are busy?!? Please. Our role as parents is TO PARENT. Not delegate our highest priority of shaping and safeguarding our children to society, social media, the govt, etc.
How about the politicians open their mansions to host illegals. They could easily have 10-20 people per home easily...until their immigration hearings. . Biden, polosi, gavin, Mitch.... I'm sure they have lots of rooms.
I’m also concerned about the idea of blaming tech companies for damage caused by the use of their platform, whether by children or otherwise. To me, it would be too comparable to the idea of holding gun manufacturers liable when someone, including a child, is accidentally injured by a gun. You can’t blame the gun for the injury.
Parents don't raise children anymore . My dad always had a LOADED gun in his dresser drawer. But we Knew never to touch it or our butts would be red !! When we were sent to our room we did not have phones, or computers or a TV or Gameboy. You went to your room to sit and think about why you were sent there
Hello Megyn, I wonder what we would learn if we could compare the list of names of processed illegals to voter rolls? At this point nothing would shock me.
I don’t agree that the answer is to allow the tech platforms to be sued. That just will result in more lawsuits, after the damage has already been done. I’m a retired attorney, so I have some idea of how that would work. I would place the responsibility on the parents. Like Megyn, the parents should prohibit their children having access to the social media app’s at all. I think that technology could figure out a way for the parents to restrict access to the app’s by the phone that their children use. Or, how about parents not giving their children phones at all? We managed for almost the entire course of history without children having their own phones, so it is certainly realistic to go back to that approach.
How about suing these Tech CEOs, they would sue us for intentional loss of business or their good name. What about the damage these Tech companies have caused to these families?
The internet and all that it involves has opened a Pandora's box and the innocence that once was our youth is gone forever and we'll never get it back.
They may be harmful but where does the responsibility lie? I don't believe it's Meta's responsibility. It's the parents roll. There are many dangerous things in life. We cannot childproof the world. We need to world proof our children.
I get the impression that Zuck was required by his mother to apologize repeatedly while he was growing up. Which is why when Hawley was attempting to shame him, Zuck was able to stand up immediately and apologize. It just looked so reflexive.
Why cant they make a law to make parents more responsible ? The government too big now. Zuckerberg is a creep but blaming him for your kids death is beyond overreaching ,its like blaming the post office for chain letters.
Why should we have the department of homeland security if it cannot act independently from the president and protect the American people. If it exists as just another executive agency at the beck and call of the president, then it should be abolished.
These social media companies had no problem censoring COVID and election “disinformation” when they wanted to. They absolutely could do more to clamp down on these things, like child trafficking and sextortion

It is the parents responsibility. Don’t give your children PHONES
Give them flip phones with the ability to call and text only.
There is certainly more that big tech can do to protect children, however, the parents are the first and best line of defense for their children, and the parents should own their massive part in this problem.

True.Parents,pay attention.
100- we are responsible for ourselves and our children.
Will they ever get over blaming PRESIDENT TRUMP for everything ! So sick of this 💩💩
Me too ✋️
I’m just starting but I agree but so glad Trump lost cause I wld never thought this happen if not 4 him .. to expose the D are doing and WHO, CDC, MSM, Gates ..etc wld have skated …
PARENTS need to protect THEIR kids!!!🤬👎👎🤦♀️
Newt Gingrich is a such a good smart man
Megyn, I always LOVE your show, love your guests. It's so great to get real news with honest commentary. Keep it up!
Parents also need to take responsibility.

Totally disagree as a hater of Facebook. This is on the parents

Carolla is GREAT!!

Close the border entirely but banish trump to Siberia
Guys, can we PLEASE stop talking about Taylor Swift?! I am so sick of hearing about her on any front. I feel like I couldn't escape Dylan Mulvaney stories a few months ago, now it's Taylor Swift. STOP IT.

You and Doug are to be applauded for taking the responsibility of protecting your 3 sweets❤
No cellphones til their 30 !!! Really !! I didn’t have a smartphone til I was 50 years old…. It was better before ❤🇺🇸🙏😊
Hello, Megyn, let me top off my coffee before listening to your delightful podcast. Adam Carolla is always a great guest.
When you hear sociopaths (like Newsome) say anything, it’s hard to tell if he’s lying with humor or just normal lying.
Pertaining to social media, where is the responsibility of the parents?
Caution!! Agree that SM is polluting and harming so many children in particular, but our liberties need to be guarded. The Gov and those CEO’s are working together!! Keep that in mind.
Looking beautiful, Megyn. Love the hair off to the side lately. Keep up the solid reporting and getting the truth out.
Problematic!? Illegal images of child abuse, WTF! Evil.
Really appreciate Carolla’s ‘all roads lead to narcissism’. Beyond true, screaming ‘Yes!’ It’s egregious and making everything worse & its way out of control.
The technique Gavin Newsome uses is known as Gaslighting.
"what are you talking about, NO the room isn't darker now, nobody has touched the lamp, i think you're going crazy" 😂😂
1000000000% He is a true narcissist.
Gaslighting doesn't even begin to describe the crap that congress out of his mouth
Maybe it's time for parents to delete their FB and other media platforms to model to their children that it is not necessary to live a productive healthy life
Adam is my favourite guest. No sugar coating!
If they CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE, then they should ***NOT BE ALLOWED TO BAN AND CENSOR*** anyone.
AMAZING, how no one seems to see the obvious solution, don’t allow your children to use it
It was incredibly smart for Florida and Texas to move a ton of these people to these Dem states. I has their attention after years of trying to get the positions and public living in non-border states to care.
Love it when MK has Adam on the show, such great banter with them 🤙👍👊
Adam is the man. I watch his podcast all the time and his rants are things of legend.
Where is the accountability on the parents? My teens are not allowed to use social media
Zuck needs the $ for his doomsday bunker. So he just won't commit to pay for damages he's caused.
He’s not liable for any damages. This is pathetic Theatere by republicans and dems.
The parents need to get a handle on there children
These are the same parents who let their children watch the Kardasions trash.
Everything needs to be made public, to expose these evil politicians period...
We should know everything about our representatives. They are public servants. They should't know anything about us. We are private citizens. We have it backwards.
Why do you think they own the media ?
Thank you Megyn
Both tech companies and parents need to be more responsible.
I agree with newt 100% on boarder
What a sad commentary about the American Culture! I loved the interview with Adam Carolla.
Impeaching Mayorkas may not "change" anything, but it's an ***IMPORTANT MESSAGE*** and should be on the record.
Heartbreaking 💔💔
💚🦋💚Thanks Megyn! 👍🤘🌺
Lova ya Megyn!
Why hasn't Josh Hawley persuaded his colleagues to create laws that would solve the problems? That is what senators are supposed to do. That's what he is being paid to do, not to give speeches criticizing people. Josh Hawley and the entire Congress have failed miserably.

So stop reading them.

Megyn you are such a light in this world to young women. Thank you

I'm struggling BIG TIME with the requirement that social media companies are responsible for protecting kids. That's a parent's job. Look in the mirror, parents. Stop trying to be their friend and PARENT. JUST SAY NO. This isn't hard.
They need to be put on return flights.
Buses 🚍
I can't do any FB or Instagram. It's so bad for me, a 38 year old mother. It's so powerful and pulls me in, and makes me feel bad.
I've always wondered what SOT stood for. Thanks MK 🎯

What ??? Dang !! SOT means a drunken person.
Salute Senator Hawley.
Not a parent but id hate to be in their shoes navigating through this era of tech

Because phones are the modern babysitter, and the family unit barely exist..

celebrating diversity!!! and definitely cosmopolitan, with the USA blessed with healthy harmony, and no more toxic GOP sowing of lies.

Good job
I love Adam's random background :)
The internet and all that it involves has opened a Pandora's box and the innocence that once was our youth is gone forever and we'll never get it back.
Adam Carolla... YES. Newt, not so much, but thanks for another great show!
If someone mailed your child a nasty letter, would you get mad at the post office?
Very good example.
Lawsuits are necessary for social media companies
"What your families HAD to suffer?!!" Not a good apology
Loved that moment when zuck was backed into a corner. Damning testimony!
I remember seeing men in diapers in the early 90s on Jerry Springer. The freaks of the past are being catered to today. Insane!
$8.75 for McDonald’s????? Where??? I just paid over $17 for a double quarter pounder meal in Tukwila, Wa!
normal states
Adam Carolla is the funniest 😂
simple. no one under 18 gets social media and phones!
I vote 30 years old !!!! ❤
WHY CAN'T WE HOLD THE GOVERNMENT LIABLE FOR ALLOWING THE INTERNET TO HAPPEN????? ISN'T THIS THEIR FAULT????? COME ON MAN!!!!!!!!!
Love your show Megan truth facts opinions great
They may be harmful but where does the responsibility lie?
I don't believe it's Meta's responsibility.
It's the parents roll.
There are many dangerous things in life.
We cannot childproof the world.
We need to world proof our children.
I get the impression that Zuck was required by his mother to apologize repeatedly while he was growing up. Which is why when Hawley was attempting to shame him, Zuck was able to stand up immediately and apologize. It just looked so reflexive.
Yea! Upton lived a block from here
Why can’t they make laws against this sort of thing?
Why cant they make a law to make parents more responsible ? The government too big now. Zuckerberg is a creep but blaming him for your kids death is beyond overreaching ,its like blaming the post office for chain letters.
Why should we have the department of homeland security if it cannot act independently from the president and protect the American people. If it exists as just another executive agency at the beck and call of the president, then it should be abolished.
