Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized to the families and parents of children who have been harmed by his social media platforms during an intense hearing on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
Mr. Zuckerberg issued the rare apology after being questioned by lawmakers during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Big Tech and the Online Child Sexual Exploitation Crisis,” which examined the impacts of social media on children and the numerous child safety issues related to their use of such sites.
Some of the parents who attended the hearing told lawmakers that their children had been exploited, bullied, or molested online while using one of Mr. Zuckerberg’s many platforms.
Others said their children had suffered various mental health issues, including developing eating disorders and depression, as a result of using the sites. Some of the parents had lost their children to drug overdoses from narcotics purchased on the platforms or by suicide.
