A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has demanded documents from Meta Platforms, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg, regarding the company's knowledge of mental and physical health harms associated with its platforms, particularly concerning children. The senators are seeking information on the harm to children from Meta's social media platforms and have called for parental control laws for under-16s. Meta has attempted to deflect the inquiry by pointing to Apple and Google app stores. The company's proposal to use Apple and Google for age verification has been supported, despite concerns about its handling of children's online safety.
Meta's hands aren't squeaky clean when it comes to kids and the internet, but its proposal to always use Apple and Google for age verification is sound, @DaveLeeBBG says https://t.co/ytiKgMH29y via @opinion
