Durbin Questions Facebook Whistleblower During Senate Judiciary Subcommittee Hearing on Social Media Harms to Kids

Interview

“The bottom line is this. They [Meta] made a decision that it [monitoring online child sexual exploitation] is not a priority to them because of a profit motive, have they not? In terms of what it will cost them in their business model if they have to interrupt it and monitor the content.

I would just back up what Senator Graham said. If this becomes expensive to them, to continue this outrageous conduct, then they may pay closer attention, that’s for sure.

You have suggested here, as well, that we need a survey of young people as to their experience. Do you want to explain that?

We were also briefed by the DEA in terms of narcotics transactions and the use of platforms for that purpose. Did you ever look into that issue?

I certainly agree with that. Thank you for your testimony."
