The Complex Role of AI in Tech CEOs’ CSAM Inquiry

The CEOs of Social Media Companies Grilled by Senators Over Child Sexual Exploitation Prevention

The CEOs of five major social media companies, including Meta, TikTok, and X, formerly known as Twitter, faced tough questioning from Senators on Wednesday regarding their efforts to prevent online child sexual exploitation. The Senate Judiciary Committee held the hearing to hold the CEOs accountable for what was deemed a failure to protect minors and to inquire about their support for proposed legislation to address the issue. Reports of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) reached a record high last year, highlighting the urgency of the matter.
