Summary

The CEOs of prominent tech and social media companies appeared on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, addressing the Senate Judiciary Committee's Child Online Safety hearing. Senators from both sides of the aisle clashed with CEOs on what measures they are taking to ensure underage user's safety from sex trafficking and cyberbullying. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) joins the Rundown, to discuss her bi-partisan proposal, the Kids Online Safety Act, what she thought of the tech CEOs' testimonies, and explains how Congress can step in to regulate social media companies. ABC Shark Tank personality and business tycoon Mark Cuban has come under fire this week for comments regarding corporate America's diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. Cuban took to X to say he would use race and gender as a factor when hiring if it puts his business in the best position to succeed. Although the debate surrounding DEI is not new, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says his comments are dead wrong. Andrea Lucas, a commissioner for the EEOC, joined the Rundown to break down the intentions behind DEI and explain why some confuse equity and equality. Plus, commentary from former Texas Governor Rick Perry. (Image: Jose Luis Magana Via AP) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
