Meep, morp. After getting grilled for a good while by senators about all the bad stuff happening to teens on social media, the Zuck  did something you don't see often—he stood up and apologized! The whole scene was pretty intense, with parents in the audience holding up pics of their kids who've been hurt by stuff on social media.

The big talk was about how social media's been linked to some really serious issues for teens, like mental health dips and online abuse. Meta/FB's CEO turned to the crowd and said, "It's terrible. No one should have to go through the things that your families have suffered," promising to work to make sure Meta's platforms are safe.
