So we can take that away from the American government as well right? I mean, they gave us America as a platform and look at all the horrible things that happen there.
I'm actually with Mark here. WHich is a bizarre thing for me to write. The platforms are platforms. There's like a town square. If you're a builder who built a sidewalk and years later a murderer stands on your sidewalk to harm someone, you don't blame the builder. You don't blame the city planner. You don't blame the architects. You blame the murderer. So exactly how is any of this Mark's fault? Did he produce the harmful content? Did his company? Did those companies intentionally support harmful content or did harmful content find a way to sneak around? Why are we not attacking the people who actually produced the harmful content?
agreed. and Hawley went after him like reality tv ... hard to watch american politics these days. cringe! big mistake for the Zuck to apologize too, opens him up to all sorts of legal nonsense from disgruntled (responsibility-shirking) users.
I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I do find the "town square" analogy hard to swallow. A traditional, physical town square with sidewalks and benches, sees many orders of magnitude less people than these major social media platforms. Just like there are major differences between small towns and large metropolises, there are major differences between physical town squares and these platforms. I don't know if those differences are the root cause of these issues we're seeing, but the facts are that we do see these issues. Maybe attacking the content producers will be enough, but I don't think so. I think the sheer scale would overwhelm those efforts.
Your analogy is a little of in my opinion. Let's keep the town square but not the murder. There was a fundamental error in the planning of the town square and people are getting hurt constantly by visiting the town square because the grund isn't builit the right way. And other people have to see people falling, lying down hurt on the ground or getting dragged down by other people falling. That is why you blame the builider or the planner.
Take a step back and look at what you’re comparing… a sidewalk being built with a murderous crime being committed on it compared to social media’s effect on growing brains. The fact of the matter is people, social media like instagram and tik tok are rotting the future of this country’s brains. Not to mention China storing our information… but teens will always want to communicate with each other in different technological ways, especially if it’s the “new trend”. They will see many clout chasers and people living extraordinarily lavish lifestyles and they get extremely depressed. There’s more too it than “it starts at home” that’s the EASIEST thing we can do as a society is point the finger at the parents. There’s so much that goes on in a teenagers life and access to social media can be very detrimental to their mental health. Folks, this isn’t the future grandma and grandpa were telling us about. We need to seriously change as a society and how we treat other people. We’re so used to centuries of bad behavior and the deconditioning of this is VERY HARD I know!

Anytime you create a space for people to express themselves, there will be negative consequences. It is not Zuckerberg's fault that people using Facebook do so in irresponsible or harmful ways. Allowing minors to interact with strangers is always a bad idea. But it doesn't just fall on Facebook. It is the parents who are responsible for the children. Those 13 to 15 year olds who saw nudity or were solicited by older men were put in that situation because their parents played a part in putting them in those positions. If all of this is such a problem and parents want to blame a man who created a social network for what their own children interact with on that social network, then the solution is for Facebook to ban anyone under the age of 18. If it is so dangerous for miners and adults to interact on the same website, prevent kids from joining the social network. Hawley is wrong here. He wants to hold Mark Zuckerberg accountable for the actions of the people using his service and his inability, despite much effort, to stop every single problem on his platform.
As scummy as these tech giants are, they are not responsible for any deaths, bullying or assaults. It's on the parents to be part of their own kids lives and pay the F attention to what they are doing on line.

Parents are responsible for what their kids have access to. Blaming social media for the mishaps of your children is like blaming the gun for pulling the trigger and not the one pulling the trigger. Parents need to be parents and be held accountable for the actions of their own pet sperms.
Some children are raised by grandparents that can’t read, write or work the internet but schools require internet to send assignments. The states are not equal on education .
To make enough money to be above the law. To bribe, launder, traffic, and enslave. Good thing no one is falling for this catch 22 bait nonsense from social media giants. Their pockets need to be taxed and their currency should be devalued so they can’t buy their way out of a conscience. No mortal is above the law.
Foster children are already addicted before you take them in. Social services don’t tell you in advance that you will die or get beaten up if you don’t let them use it.
@@Endoftime-ej7sr I don't see where that makes it less optional. People with mental instability can get violent over anything so if you're dealing with someone like that they need to have mental help. That may include hospitalization until they are stable. Kids can go through all kinds of crap that causes mental issues and the ones that do need help but going after social media isn't solving anything it's pushing the blame on something else.
Yeah zuck. You should be the one parenting and controlling our children's screen time and social media interaction and not us, the parents. It's all your fault!
He got rich from the tools Republicans put into place. Republicans have been silently dismantling social media moderation and accountability so that they can harass and threaten minority groups. It'd be a shame if people found out that conservatives are burying the fact that X/Twitter has become a complete hotbed of CSAM. It'd be a shame if people found out that Elon, the conservative golden boy, unbanned a right-wing account that shared CSAM and then sent executives down to Australia to defend people's ability to share and spread CSAM. This is all being buried by right-wing media because they want to keep X/Twitter open and other social media platforms unmoderated because it spreads hate and fear towards minority groups. Children and other people end up in the crosshairs of all of this, though, so this outrage toward Zuck is nothing but political theater.
Is Zuckerberg really any more guilty than those regardless of party making a SHOW outta THIS knowing damn straight NOTHING'S going to be CHANGED... This is JUST theater... 🤬
God, every moment of this was amazing. Watching a CEO not able to slime their way through questioning and the Senators not asking them nothing questions.
The problem with Josh's argument is he's ultimately talking about a social platform and you can't fully control how people interact especially when age gates are ineffective. It's like dropping your pre-teenage daughter and her friends at the mall unsupervised. If some creep starts making advances toward them, Josh's argument is that the mall is at fault - when we all know who we'd blame in that scenario. That's the critical error conservatives walk into when talking about social media. In every other context, even tragic ones, the right understands personal responsibility and especially parental engagement. Social media is the subject where they blame everything else.
I think if malls were experiencing child sexual exploitation to the degree that social media permits, people would probably do something about malls, right? Maybe they would hire better security even? I sure hope that other people don’t see the R before this guys name and immediately justify ignoring the grievances being brought forward and rather take on the perspective of a parent
@@robrio89 If you wanna mention exploitation and peedo trade rings we'd be in agreement. Tech companies and law enforcement should co-op to handle that, obviously. Josh isn't talking about that in this clip, he's talking about dubious correlations using inconclusive studies - the same way the left does to support their busy body grievances. A lot of the conservative arguments against social media boils down to media, yes even borderline media, that's not illegal so much as distasteful or against their value system. I see it all the time and some will straight up tell you that's what it is. The platform or medium isn't the problem in these cases. It always comes down to minors access to things parents don't want, but govt can't do parents job for them. And should not.
Your mall example is totally irrelevant. Mark knew everything about Meta/Intagram are letting predators to lure and harm kids and Mark did nothing about to stop and prevent from happening again. The mall wasn't built for teenagers to get in and wait for predators. The mall is just place where people in all ages can go in, shop, have fun and go out. If there is creepy strangers bothering teens and kids, by standers and shoppers could alert security. Who would alert security in social media?
+1 Your mall example is irrelevant, you don't have to walk to reach Facebook. Just a few touch with smartphone & also the Biggest Manager is Zuckerberg. It's obviously his fault as a facebook's CEO.
commit to compensating victims? Parents have the option not allowing your kids to be on social media The real problem is the parents allowing their kids to be on social media all the time and not monitoring that shit. Certainly the people who talk about personal responsibility don't want to take personal responsibility anymore Social media did not kill their kids or make them victims parents not paying attention to their children, monitoring their children and being responsible parents is what took your kids out I'm getting tired of all this scapegoating so I'm just going to be blunt about this
I can testify that FB don't respond to formal complaints to resolve pertinent issues before they get worse even when they know damn well they are at fault.
If you interpret his actions as involuntary manslaughter or manslaughter by gross negligence, possibly even constructive manslaughter - considering how the company actually generates profit - he could be imprisoned for a very long time. Let‘s hope for the return of justice. It is not just the US, where this happens.
Jailed for what? Why not jail the parents too for allowing their teens to be consumed by social media. Where does the responsibility of the user come into question?
@@lisamannmann5559parents gave the kid a smartphone. parents let the kid make a social media account. parents didn’t monitor what their kids were doing online
He probably is frustrated. If Congress really cares they would appeal section 230. That is the "liability shield" Hawley mentioned. Instead they won't do that. Congress is looking good, while Zuck makes billions. It's a win-win in a way.
The parents should also be accountable. If I am not mistaken, children are supposed to have parents permission to have a Facebook/Instagram account before accessing the platform.
This was all a show. You go to sleep feeling good. But in reality section 230 is a congress problem, not a Facebook problem.. then you realized you got played.
If any “victim “ is an adult, it’s their responsibility to control themselves. In the case of a minor, I have not heard anyone say that the parents have more responsibility for providing the tools to access the sites and for not monitoring their child activities.
Oh, please, you know not all children have adult supervision most parents are not meant to be parents and those are the ones that let their kids do as they please.
@@2cool4u61 you have to be at least 13 years old to have a facebook. facebook is not responsible for young children who purposely lie about their age to get on the platform. parents need to take responsibility and accountability for their children's internet usage.
@@helendavis9787 exactly I totally agree, we were all once kids, we shouldnt act like we didn't do sneaky things behind our parents backs at least once in our lives
I came here to listen to the full apology without any commentary from the news media. When I heard it, I paused to reflect. My reaction was "He's defending himself/Facebook in the apology." The correct answer should have been: "You know what? (turns around to face senator) you're right. These people deserve compensation for their loss... (turns back to look at families) and I will compensate them from my own personal fortune." Then I pressed Play and that's exactly what that senator thought, too. My blood would be boiling if I were a parent in that chamber.
For those who say it’s the parent’s fault, you forget how smart kids can be. If you restrict them, they’ll find a way around pretty much anything if they wanted to.
Exactly. My kid sees stuff at school that I am appalled to hear. She's a good kid but when they are around their peers, it's hard to regulate what other parents let their kids have access to. We have family link on our kids phone but most other kids do not. And then they show the kids in school fucked up shit and we still tried to best we can to protect our kids, but not everyone else does.
He/she meant is that the kids are smart enough to find ways to get on Social Media behind the parents backs. Smart enough to find a way, not necessarily having to do with the situations that they are put in.
Facebook should be responsible for its content because it controls it. By that I mean FB censors speech itself so therefore it controls it. If it simply had a report a crime button or some external review process then FB should not be responsible for that content as it is moderated by the people using the content.
Here is where I destroy your comment. Ready? Section 230 is a law that protects social media platforms from responsibility for what users post. Section 230 is a law that can be repealed by Congress. But congress will NOT repeal it. So, to your point, under the law Facebook should not be held responsible. Sorry bruh.
Instagram is just a platform. A person who is willing to show his nudity will show it wherever he is. If they don't have Instagram, they have another app. They show it according to their own interests. But 'Instagram' video is not taken and uploaded. It is the person who uses it. If a person drops a bomb, the case should be brought against the person who dropped the bomb, not the place. Even if it's a apologize.
Dang... Zuck and Tic Tok are looking pretty bad right now. I will never understand why so many are willing to cede their personal info and privacy just because of FOMO.
At the end of the day, parents are responsible..Take the fucking phone away, cancel their FB accounts, cancel IG - limit laptop use for homework only. Not really Zucks fault.
How about the buck stops with the parents? Why are parents allowing 13-15 year olds on Instagram? The parents need to be accountable for the content their children consume.
Prime example of when the script meets righteousness. Righteous questions come at you and the script fails. "we have tools tools tools" sounds like a bad chorus to an even worse song.
Why can't parents just take accountability for themselves and just not let their kids use social media until their adults? Lol why is it Zucks fault, I don't understand.
Wasn't Facebook's original concept just a website for rating college girls' attractiveness? We already know he's evil Mr. Hawley, so maybe write a law that legally forces him to compensate wronged people.
I think the blame is on the parents. You can’t let your kids have unfiltered access to the internet then claim victim when they see something they shouldn’t. I’m normally down with Senator Hawley but he’s being stupid.
So let me guess this straight, he don't have to pay a dime for the victims,but someone have to pay 83 million for a women who came out from nowhere and saying things about what happened ti her 30 years ago,but she can't even prove her claim.
Parent should be held responsible for what they let their children watch and listen too. All people want to do it to put the blame on everyone but the parents.
Omg he made him apologise to the audience... This is insane.
He also won't appeal section 230 that's all the families will get 😂

According to the bible some of the worst sins are harming children. Lock them All UP.
God himself harmed children in the Bible as punishment (like inflicting David and Bathsheba’s baby with a disease so he dies in 7 days, killing every Egyptian firstborn male child, drowning babies with flood, etc), so bringing up the Bible makes very little sense here.
Shut them all down, we don't need social media. Nothing social about it.
And the families can't sue ,he's protected.
After this they can. He essentially just admitted guilt with that apology
Because the politicians that attack him also won't change section 230
@@angelgarza2215 let me know when they sue.
Just like Biden is while he destroys America. We can't sue him.
Sue for what.
I assume you also want the families to sue adult websites when their child inevitably accesses those as well?
That is more than most victims of child molestation get.
Apologies?! He and his wife all knew exactly what’s going on. They need to pay a lot of people for HUGE damages!
Is he that MUCH MORE guilty then those playing their roll in this theater who also KNOW nothing's gonna change.... It's become clear they play their role like it's a soap opera & which party no longer really matters... ONLY those NOT bought & paid for by globalists

It’s all about money
No kidding?
if you ran a business, you too would be all about the money.
Parents are responsible for what their kids have access to. Blaming social media for the mishaps of your children is like blaming the gun for pulling the trigger and not the one pulling the trigger. Parents need to be parents and be held accountable for the actions of their own pet sperms.
Your ignorance is only surpassed by your stupidity
Some children are raised by grandparents that can’t read, write or work the internet but schools require internet to send assignments. The states are not equal on education .
@@Endoftime-ej7sr that’s not on the states to be up to date with education. Education starts at home, not at school.
Zuckerberg: "Our job that we take seriously is..."

Nailed.
Yeah that was my favourite part.
😂😂😂😂😂
To make enough money to be above the law.
To bribe, launder, traffic, and enslave. Good thing no one is falling for this catch 22 bait nonsense from social media giants. Their pockets need to be taxed and their currency should be devalued so they can’t buy their way out of a conscience. No mortal is above the law.
Uhh people realize using social media is optional right? Like you can literally just not use it if you find it harmful.
Foster children are already addicted before you take them in. Social services don’t tell you in advance that you will die or get beaten up if you don’t let them use it.
@@Endoftime-ej7srreally?
@@Endoftime-ej7sr I don't see where that makes it less optional. People with mental instability can get violent over anything so if you're dealing with someone like that they need to have mental help. That may include hospitalization until they are stable. Kids can go through all kinds of crap that causes mental issues and the ones that do need help but going after social media isn't solving anything it's pushing the blame on something else.
Yeah zuck. You should be the one parenting and controlling our children's screen time and social media interaction and not us, the parents. It's all your fault!

what is he supposed to do. teach todays generation to be good?
He got rich from the tools Republicans put into place. Republicans have been silently dismantling social media moderation and accountability so that they can harass and threaten minority groups.
It'd be a shame if people found out that conservatives are burying the fact that X/Twitter has become a complete hotbed of CSAM. It'd be a shame if people found out that Elon, the conservative golden boy, unbanned a right-wing account that shared CSAM and then sent executives down to Australia to defend people's ability to share and spread CSAM. This is all being buried by right-wing media because they want to keep X/Twitter open and other social media platforms unmoderated because it spreads hate and fear towards minority groups. Children and other people end up in the crosshairs of all of this, though, so this outrage toward Zuck is nothing but political theater.

God, every moment of this was amazing. Watching a CEO not able to slime their way through questioning and the Senators not asking them nothing questions.
The problem with Josh's argument is he's ultimately talking about a social platform and you can't fully control how people interact especially when age gates are ineffective.
It's like dropping your pre-teenage daughter and her friends at the mall unsupervised. If some creep starts making advances toward them, Josh's argument is that the mall is at fault - when we all know who we'd blame in that scenario.
That's the critical error conservatives walk into when talking about social media. In every other context, even tragic ones, the right understands personal responsibility and especially parental engagement. Social media is the subject where they blame everything else.
I think if malls were experiencing child sexual exploitation to the degree that social media permits, people would probably do something about malls, right? Maybe they would hire better security even?
I sure hope that other people don’t see the R before this guys name and immediately justify ignoring the grievances being brought forward and rather take on the perspective of a parent
@@robrio89 If you wanna mention exploitation and peedo trade rings we'd be in agreement. Tech companies and law enforcement should co-op to handle that, obviously.
Josh isn't talking about that in this clip, he's talking about dubious correlations using inconclusive studies - the same way the left does to support their busy body grievances. A lot of the conservative arguments against social media boils down to media, yes even borderline media, that's not illegal so much as distasteful or against their value system. I see it all the time and some will straight up tell you that's what it is.
The platform or medium isn't the problem in these cases. It always comes down to minors access to things parents don't want, but govt can't do parents job for them. And should not.
Your mall example is totally irrelevant.
Mark knew everything about Meta/Intagram are letting predators to lure and harm kids and Mark did nothing about to stop and prevent from happening again.
The mall wasn't built for teenagers to get in and wait for predators. The mall is just place where people in all ages can go in, shop, have fun and go out. If there is creepy strangers bothering teens and kids, by standers and shoppers could alert security. Who would alert security in social media?
@@broccolifan6971 Your description of a mall literally explains the principle of the analogy.
+1 Your mall example is irrelevant, you don't have to walk to reach Facebook. Just a few touch with smartphone & also the Biggest Manager is Zuckerberg. It's obviously his fault as a facebook's CEO.
Facebook needs to be taken down
So does TicToxic
Lets compare how many people died from Facebook compared to Mass Shootings. How many Senate Hearing have they had on Gun Control ?
Nah, just limited for 18 or older.
How about you bird brains talk about section 230?
But guns should be legal 😂
commit to compensating victims? Parents have the option not allowing your kids to be on social media
The real problem is the parents allowing their kids to be on social media all the time and not monitoring that shit.
Certainly the people who talk about personal responsibility don't want to take personal responsibility anymore
Social media did not kill their kids or make them victims parents not paying attention to their children, monitoring their children and being responsible parents is what took your kids out
I'm getting tired of all this scapegoating so I'm just going to be blunt about this
agreed, same thing goes for non-adults using fake id-s to get into clubs and stuff
i agree with that, its the parents fault. we never had this problem before the internet and social media.
I’m a parent & I agree. It’s sad what happened to these families but the truth is they need to take responsibility for their actions.
Exactly !!
Wow! Roasted!
Jesus Christ. Congress can actually work sometimes.
How comes a 43 year old mature struggles to get on nude content, while children are exposed and get access to it with no restrictions ??? ?

And nothing will change...

Apologies are not enough. He needs to be jailed
If you interpret his actions as involuntary manslaughter or manslaughter by gross negligence, possibly even constructive manslaughter - considering how the company actually generates profit - he could be imprisoned for a very long time. Let‘s hope for the return of justice.
It is not just the US, where this happens.
Jailed for what? Why not jail the parents too for allowing their teens to be consumed by social media. Where does the responsibility of the user come into question?

“i’m sorry you failed as parents to protect your children from social media” that’s what he should’ve said to these idiots.
An apology is not real accountability
You and your company suppressed my freedom of speech.
Shoutout to Josh Hawley this is profound and necessary!
🤡🤡🤡
look how nervous mark is getting!
He probably is frustrated. If Congress really cares they would appeal section 230. That is the "liability shield" Hawley mentioned. Instead they won't do that. Congress is looking good, while Zuck makes billions. It's a win-win in a way.
Zuckerberg should apologize to every conservative
This is a non-partisan issue and although Senator Hawley is not my favorite person, he did a wonderful job here questioning Zuckerberg.
Lizardman did some calculations behind the scenes and believes humans will trust him more by showing humility.
Let's see how this plays out.
Shut Down All The Social Media Platforms. We Were All Fine Without Them.
Censorship is necessary
The parents should also be accountable. If I am not mistaken, children are supposed to have parents permission to have a Facebook/Instagram account before accessing the platform.
Man that was a beating Zuck took.
screw him
This was all a show. You go to sleep feeling good. But in reality section 230 is a congress problem, not a Facebook problem.. then you realized you got played.
If any “victim “ is an adult, it’s their responsibility to control themselves. In the case of a minor, I have not heard anyone say that the parents have more responsibility for providing the tools to access the sites and for not monitoring their child activities.
Oh, please, you know not all children have adult supervision most parents are not meant to be parents and those are the ones that let their kids do as they please.
@@2cool4u61 you have to be at least 13 years old to have a facebook. facebook is not responsible for young children who purposely lie about their age to get on the platform. parents need to take responsibility and accountability for their children's internet usage.
Kids always find a way to get around things. I know, I was a kid once.
@@helendavis9787 exactly I totally agree, we were all once kids, we shouldnt act like we didn't do sneaky things behind our parents backs at least once in our lives
@@helendavis9787 totally agree. Some people are just too naive to assume that kids will always obey their parents 😂
Apology is too cheap to say but the damage is too great to show it.
I came here to listen to the full apology without any commentary from the news media. When I heard it, I paused to reflect.
My reaction was "He's defending himself/Facebook in the apology."
The correct answer should have been: "You know what? (turns around to face senator) you're right. These people deserve compensation for their loss... (turns back to look at families) and I will compensate them from my own personal fortune."
Then I pressed Play and that's exactly what that senator thought, too. My blood would be boiling if I were a parent in that chamber.
For those who say it’s the parent’s fault, you forget how smart kids can be. If you restrict them, they’ll find a way around pretty much anything if they wanted to.
How about congress repeals section 230. Otherwise why blame Facebook, they are operating within the law.
Exactly. My kid sees stuff at school that I am appalled to hear. She's a good kid but when they are around their peers, it's hard to regulate what other parents let their kids have access to. We have family link on our kids phone but most other kids do not. And then they show the kids in school fucked up shit and we still tried to best we can to protect our kids, but not everyone else does.
So if these kids are so smart, they shouldn't end up in this situation.
He/she meant is that the kids are smart enough to find ways to get on Social Media behind the parents backs. Smart enough to find a way, not necessarily having to do with the situations that they are put in.
Parents that have no idea what their kids are doing will love this.
Zack was completely destroyed.

Facebook should be responsible for its content because it controls it. By that I mean FB censors speech itself so therefore it controls it. If it simply had a report a crime button or some external review process then FB should not be responsible for that content as it is moderated by the people using the content.
Fuck ZUCK CENSORSHIP IS ALL THEY DO LIARS. LIARS LIARS
Here is where I destroy your comment. Ready?
Section 230 is a law that protects social media platforms from responsibility for what users post. Section 230 is a law that can be repealed by Congress. But congress will NOT repeal it. So, to your point, under the law Facebook should not be held responsible. Sorry bruh.
Instagram is just a platform. A person who is willing to show his nudity will show it wherever he is. If they don't have Instagram, they have another app. They show it according to their own interests. But 'Instagram' video is not taken and uploaded. It is the person who uses it. If a person drops a bomb, the case should be brought against the person who dropped the bomb, not the place. Even if it's a apologize.
Can’t wait for this to come up on the Social Network 2
As much as I despise him, parents are responsible for raising their kids instead of using entertainment as a digital pacifier.
Dang... Zuck and Tic Tok are looking pretty bad right now. I will never understand why so many are willing to cede their personal info and privacy just because of FOMO.
No one gives a shit about you or your info. The level of vanity 😂
I despise Josh Hawley very much, but man he was spot on with Zuckerberg!!!
He handled this much better than I would have.
At the end of the day, parents are responsible..Take the fucking phone away, cancel their FB accounts, cancel IG - limit laptop use for homework only. Not really Zucks fault.
How about the buck stops with the parents? Why are parents allowing 13-15 year olds on Instagram? The parents need to be accountable for the content their children consume.
Yeah it's like suing the ice cream stall because you didn't tell your child they were diabetic and lactose intolerant and couldnt have any,
If you don’t wanna answer the question, just use the word science In the answer.

Prime example of when the script meets righteousness. Righteous questions come at you and the script fails. "we have tools tools tools" sounds like a bad chorus to an even worse song.

Why can't parents just take accountability for themselves and just not let their kids use social media until their adults? Lol why is it Zucks fault, I don't understand.
BEST COMMENT
Agreed!
@spitfiresr Because it’s easier to blame other people than take responsibility for your actions.
Wasn't Facebook's original concept just a website for rating college girls' attractiveness? We already know he's evil Mr. Hawley, so maybe write a law that legally forces him to compensate wronged people.
No wonder he built a bunker lol
I think the blame is on the parents. You can’t let your kids have unfiltered access to the internet then claim victim when they see something they shouldn’t. I’m normally down with Senator Hawley but he’s being stupid.
Zuckerberg still owes all Conservatives for the Cambridge Analytica Conspiracy during the 2020 Election!!!
Give each family 5 million each to start.
So let me guess this straight, he don't have to pay a dime for the victims,but someone have to pay 83 million for a women who came out from nowhere and saying things about what happened ti her 30 years ago,but she can't even prove her claim.
Parent should be held responsible for what they let their children watch and listen too. All people want to do it to put the blame on everyone but the parents.
