This online hearing is a response to demands from a number of schools throughout the United States. They sued Meta, ByteDance, Alphabet, and Snap because their platforms were thought to make children addicted to playing.
Through this hearing, Senators Durbin and Graham will listen to the CEOs' explanations and ask the five companies to comply more with child safety regulations on the internet.
“They were finally forced to admit their failure to protect children. Now that the five companies are working together, we're looking forward to input from their CEOs. "Parents and children demand action," said the two, quoted by VOI from The Verge.
