About this sermon
The CEOs of social media companies Discord, META, Snap, TikTok and X were grilled by Senate Judiciary Committee members today. Senators are demanding Big Tech do more to safeguard children who often get hooked on apps and online sites. Lawmakers also focused on the addictiveness of social media and its impact on children's mental health. Congress wants to pass more protective legislation, and make it easier for parents to sue tech companies, regulations, which the companies are against. Big Tech CEOs testifying before Congress about online safety precautions for their sites is something that has been seen before. Yet, Congress has not passed any significant recent laws to protect kids. The Executive Director of the Institute for Family Studies, Michael Toscano, joins to share what the point of the hearings are. Toscano discusses the kind of legislation that he would like to see passed to make social media sites and apps safer for kids. He fills us in on what parents can do to keep their kids safe on social media. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
