Senators from both parties blasted Big Tech on Tuesday and called for the passage of federal legislation to regulate tech platforms in the midst of a mental health crisis among young Americans

Opening a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen Dick Durbin, the panel’s chair, accused tech companies including Facebook and Snapchat of “doing everything they can to keep our kids eyes glued to the screens.” Tuesday’s hearing, which featured testimony from civil society groups and mental health advocates, did not involve witnesses from the tech industry.

Richard Blumenthal called for passing the Kids’ Online Safety Act and the EARN IT Act, two controversial bills that were heavily debated in the last Congress that would respectively create new regulations for social media and restrict their ability to invoke Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the industry’s key liability shield.

Never underestimate Congress’ ability to distract from a problem by blaming someone else

You would think you'd be more worried about how they worked with the FBI to hide the corruption of JoeBiden and silenced all facts about the corruption of the man you voted for then punished people who pointing out the facts. And CNN took part in it.

These rapacious birds never fail to exploit a tragedy to try to obtain more political capital and attempt more government interference.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

I’m glad that a bipartisan congress has labelled transgenderism the mental health crisis that it is.

So he pretending he cares about kids now? He threw his children under the bus before.

Oh shut up. Your position has been made clear. No one is buying your about face.

The government can fix it!

Massive chemical spill in Ohio, one of the worst environmental disasters in US history. Happened almost a week ago. We’ve heard nothing about it from CNN/MSM

About time...

Guns dont kill people. Big tech does 🤦🏻‍♂️

This cannot be changed, if only by appeal.
