where we are going to see Mark Zuckerberg raise his right hand, take an oath before a judge and a jury of his peers, and for the first time explain to a court of law why his company knowingly developed products that targeted children to get them hooked, and then continue to feed them algorithmic content that did irretrievable harm.

And what's different, because he's also told that to Congress, but he's going to have to explain why, despite telling us, the public,

as well as members of Congress that their products were safe for kids, why he systematically buried internal research and data showing there is a connection and showing they did know that their products were addictive and showing they did know that their products were harmful.

So for many parents, this is the first step to hold big tech executives like Mark Zuckerberg accountable.

Well, the evidence has already shown that there have been many internal surveys, again, conducted by Meta, and in some cases partnering with external companies, survey firms such as Nielsen,

to uncover whether there was a connection between social media overuse, social media addiction, or as the Instagram executives euphemistically refer to as problematic use and harmful behavior.

And there was.

After about a week of not using social media, users reported that they felt better about themselves.

They didn't have this compulsive need to pick up their phone.

Their mental health improved.

Instead of alerting the public to this potential health threat, they buried the research and never let it see the light of day, which is why Mark Zuckerberg can testify before Congress, claiming that the research is inconclusive.

Another study that Adam Masseri, the CEO of Instagram, had to explain the other day when he testified was something called Project Mist, which surveyed over a thousand teens and parents, again,

showing that the parental controls which big tech executives point to as one of the reasons why their products are safe for kids to use are essentially useless.

Well, it's significant because this evidence has never before been seen.

And he is not going to be able to say, hmm, Senator, I don't recall.

Let my office get back to your office about that and then walk away and never have to think about it again.

This is a judge and jury.

This is a court of law.

The law comes for everyone.

And if you have created a product that is unsafe...
