Social media CEOs have been called to testify before Congress amid growing pressure to protect young users. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has invited the CEOs of Meta, Alphabet, TikTok, and Snap to a hearing titled “Examining Tech Industry Practices and the Implications for Users and Families.” The hearing is set for June 23, which is recognized as Social Media Victims Remembrance Day. This comes as court cases and proposed legislation increase pressure on tech companies to safeguard children. Recent verdicts have held social media companies accountable for harm to young users.
