Parent advocates urge Senate panel to subpoena Zuckerberg, Google CEO
Parent advocacy groups are urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to subpoena Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Google CEO Sundar Pichai to testify over concerns about children's mental health linked to tech platforms. The groups argue that top executives must be held accountable for decisions contributing to children's harm, while the White House has intervened to allow lower-level executives to testify instead, aligning with efforts to advance the James T. Woods Act.
