With a one minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

The clear takeaway from the U.S. Senate's recent hearing Big Tech and the child sexual exploitation

crisis is that social media is not safe for children.

Senators from both sides of the aisle

questioned social media CEOs about the harms their platforms have caused to

kids. Democratic Senator Dick Durbin noted that as early as 2017 law enforcement identified Snapchat as the

pedophiles go-to exploitation tool and Republican Ted Cruz chided

meta-Ciego Mark Zuckerberg for Instagram allowing users to view child sexual content.

For years, social media companies have claimed that better parental controls would protect children.

But a CEO of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, Don Hawkins argued, and a Heritage Foundation

panel after the hearing, the parental controls do not work. They've designed these platforms

without parents and mine. The conclusion of all this is obvious. Tech companies

cannot and will not even if they could protect our kids so parents have to do that

job. For the Colston Center, I'm John Stone Street.
