Zuckerberg tells parents of social media victims at Senate hearing: ‘I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through’

CEOs of Meta, X, TikTok, Snap and Discord questioned before Congress over alleged harms to young users on their platforms

In a stunning moment during a congressional hearing over alleged online harms to children, the Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, turned to parents of victims on the Senate floor and apologized.

I'm sorry for everything you have all been through," Zuckerberg said as parents held up photos of their children who have died following sexual exploitation or harassment via social media. No one should go through the things that your families have suffered and this is why we invest so much and we are going to continue doing industry-wide efforts to make sure no one has to go through the things your families have had to suffer."
