The Judiciary Committee hearing in the U.S. Congress staged a shocking drama on January 31, with social media giants such as Facebook's Zuckerberg facing questions from parents, and their platforms' safety risks to minors were in the spotlight. This hearing not only exposed the dark side of the social giants, but also highlighted the lag of the regulatory system. Below, we will ** this event in detail.
In this jaw-dropping hearing, parents held their children's ** in their hands and confronted the CEOs of social ** companies, asking deep questions about the harm caused by the abuse of the platform. Representatives of Facebook, Instagram and other platforms were forced to go to Liangshan, and the parents' grief and anger turned into anger against social **.
This is not only a hearing, but also a warning to the ethics and responsibility of the social industry. Countless families have been heartbroken by misconduct on social platforms that have been ignoring the issue. This is not only a hearing, but also a warning to the ethics and responsibility of the social industry.
Parents held up the ** and told the sad story of their children being hit by the undercurrent of socialization**. **, the victim struggled to recount the unbearable experience on these platforms, and the audience's tears seemed to overflow on the screen.
Parents wore signs that read "Stop Online Harm" to express their endless anger at social networking. This hearing is no longer just an official occasion, but a collective gathering of thousands of families. Their voices cannot be ignored.
Senators have pointed and blunt questions for social company CEOs. Senator Lindsey Graham was unsparing in his accusation: "You have blood on your hands, and your products are taking lives." Zuckerberg and other CEOs fell silent for a while, and the applause from the audience seemed to announce that the parents' shouts had been recognized.
The indifference and silence of the social ** company makes it even more painful. Their response is obviously not enough to calm the turmoil, and it makes people question whether social ** is really willing to take responsibility for their own problems.
At the climax of the questioning, Zuckerberg finally voiced apologetically: "I'm sorry for what you've been through. His voice may be weak, but it conveys a deep apology. He said the company will continue to invest resources and take industry-leading efforts to ensure that no family suffers like this again in the future.
Whether this statement is sincere, or out of the need to deal with the crisis, the future actions of social ** companies will be revealed for us. It is incumbent upon Zuckerberg and his team to honor this apology and take concrete action, not just rhetoric.
Snap CEO Evan Spiegel also apologized at the hearing and was deeply saddened by the death of a family's child as a result of buying drugs on Snapchat. He turned to face the family, his voice full of apologeticism: "I'm sorry we couldn't prevent these tragedies from happening. ”
This is not only an apology to the family, but also a deep reflection on the lack of regulation and self-discipline of the entire social ** industry. This hearing has forced social companies to face up to their problems and not run away from them.
This hearing has brought the negative impact of socializing on the safety of minors to the forefront of the public eye. The disregard of social giants in terms of morality, responsibility and regulation is no longer tolerated, and the cries of parents have become a collective call of society. This hearing, hopefully, is not only a superficial debate, but also an opportunity for profound changes in the social industry.
