Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg’s stunning apology to the parents of online child sex abuse victims during a Senate hearing was “too little, too late,” according to one of the state attorneys general currently suing the social media giant.
New Mexico attorney general Raúl Torrez, whose office has sued Meta for exposing kids to adult sex content and alleged child predators, was on Capitol Hill on Wednesday as a contrite Zuckerberg told parents he was “sorry for everything you have all been through.”
“Mr. Zuckerberg has appeared before Congress many times before, he has given assurances about the safety of his platforms many times before,” Torrez told The Post. “It seems that once the spotlight fades, they go right back to doing business as usual.”
Senate Republicans, including Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, each dismissed Meta’s touted safety measures as ineffective during heated exchanges with Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg, who surprised the hearing’s attendees by standing up from his podium and speaking directly to the audience, told parents that “no one should go through the things that your families have suffered.”
Earlier, Zuckerberg testified that his company had spent $5 billion on safety last year.
