Bipartisan lawmakers have urged social media executives to address the issue of children’s sexual exploitation online. During a hearing with company leaders, they asserted that social platforms bear responsibility for the negative impacts their products have on children, accusing them of having “blood on their hands.”

The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on January 31 featured testimony from the CEOs of major tech companies, including Discord, Meta, Snap, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter). Each executive provided justifications for the safety features of their respective apps.
