Sen. Durbin Joins Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Demand Accountability for Big Tech

Published | Video Starts at 01:27

Two years ago, I called a hearing for the CEOs of five major tech platforms, some under subpoena to demand answers. That hearing produced results. Several companies implemented child safety improvement days before their CEOs came to testify. And Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg, under pressure from Senator Hawley of Missouri, gave a long overdue apology to the parents his platform had heard. But apologies and too little, too late. Reforms are not enough. We need to do more and we need to do it now. (01:27–01:37)
