Political Quotes

“new court documents that were made public last week revealed that nearly one in five--one in five--young teenagers have reported seeing ``nudity and sexual images on Instagram'' that they did not want to see. That is one in five--things that were just fed to them. They were not aware they were going to see this pop up on their screen. That is what was reported. These are the kids that said: Hey, this is what has happened on my Instagram screen. That is just one shocking fact that we have learned from a landmark trial that is taking place in California that is focused on how social media platforms are harming our Nation's children. It is appalling what these companies have done. Yet when he testified last week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg actually doubled down on his record of denial. While sitting just feet away from parents who have tragically lost their children due to social media harms, he said: We didn't do this--nothing to see. And, once again, he asserted that there is no link between youth, social media use, and, worse, mental health outcomes. But we know that this is not what the facts and the data and the research tell us. We also know it is not what parents and principals and teachers and pastors and pediatricians and psychologists are telling us. We also know it is not what the kids are telling us. We know that Meta has buried their child safety research because it didn't fit their narrative. They didn't like the results.”
