## Resource

Social media giants, including Meta, Alphabet, TikTok, and Snap, are under scrutiny from the Senate Judiciary Committee, led by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, over their treatment of young users and families. The hearing, scheduled for June twenty-third, comes amidst growing pressure from lawsuits, new bills, and parent groups demanding changes to protect children from harm. The companies face allegations of designing addictive features that hook teens while allowing predators and toxic content to proliferate. Families and advocates share harrowing stories of cyberbullying, suicides, and deadly drug deals linked to apps like Snapchat. Trust in these CEOs is at an all-time low, as safety is consistently overlooked in favor of profits. Recent court wins have hit Meta and YouTube hard, with juries ruling they ignored childrens well-being to keep users engaged. Amidst this, theres a push to mark June twenty-third as Social Media Harms Victim Remembrance Day, urging lawmakers and tech executives to take action before more lives are at risk.
