[@MonicaKumaran-jz5pt]

@@user-wl3hn5np2w They're asking rudely because it's a court strategy to avoid the ceo's from "filibustering" and then deflecting, not because they particularly hate them. They are biased against tech ceo's where they've decided there's a problem and they're corrupt and won't change their minds, yes that is a hundred percent true. I completely agree and think it's a good thing to police them so they don't keep screwing people with layoffs, permanently replacing jobs with AI/ML, and distracting young people from focusing on themselves and getting started in competing for resource acquisition in an extremely competitive and brutal job market. I'm saying your opinion isn't representative of much despite being from the constituent supposed to be protected, because everything you've asked is being investigated and you don't have as much context as almost everyone else if you're extremely young. I think the logic "I'm a young person so I know about my demographic best as supported by things like emotions and anecdotes from my community of young people" just isn't representative enough for this kind of widespread and insidious issue. If there was a different logic backing the opinion and if there wasn't already 20 years of public health articles starting to be investigated then would be saying something else.

I dislike Zuckerberg immensely. But the statement "Will you apologize to the families of victims" is completely nonsensical. By the same logic, does the CEO of Smith & Wesson, the #1 weapon manufacturer in US, apologize to the families of victims of mass shootings every single time? Actually if there was any sense in holding the tool maker accountable, it must be the gun manufacturers. Let's give it a little philosophical twist: if somebody calls you on the phone and threatens to murder your family, should we hold the phone service provider accountable?

Humans are being made the product and you cannot pretend that all these things are the fault of the parents. Adults are highly susceptible to the addictive nature of social media too, so we can't pretend like this is just a parent-children issue.

Trust in Jesus, Hell is real and eternal! This is what the Bible says about it.. "The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 13: 41-42 Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven "I am the way, the truth, and the life no one comes to the father but by me." John 14:6 Ask God to reveal this to you- He will! "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 ADMIT THAT YOU'RE A SINNER. We've all broken God's laws and ten commandments.. "Thou shalt not lie, steal, covet, dishonor parents, take God's name in vain.."(Exodus 20) We do not have righteousness on our own to get to heaven, "God made him (Jesus) who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Cor. 5:21 Godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against the righteous God and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out. God is deadly serious about sin, when we genuinely repent we hate sin just as God hates it, and we turn away from it. "But God commended His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS, WAS BURIED, AND THAT GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was. He saves us from sin and hell and brings us into a relationship with him. We become God's children. We are saved from hell, eternal death. "For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. Read the Bible, Walk with the Lord and give your life to Him!
