Social Media executives at the capitol to speak about child exploitation and safety features on their platforms

(Washington, DC)  --  The CEOs of five of the top social media companies are being grilled by the U.S. Senate today about child exploitation on their platforms.  

Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, which owns Instagram and Facebook, and Linda Yaccarino of X, formerly known as Twitter, are testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee.  The heads of TikTok, Snap and Discord have also been subpoenaed. They've been accused of filling children's feeds with posts promoting eating disorders, suicide, drug use or sexual abuse.  

The social media companies all say they're committed to safety and are using new tools to enforce their zero tolerance policy for child exploitation.
