Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Evan Speigel (Snap), Shou Zi Chew (TikTok), Jason Citron (Discord), and Linda Yaccarino (X), were called into the investigation and were grilled by the Senate on the first day of the hearing, with hundreds of families of kids affected by social media attending the hearing.

They have been sued numerous times and bills continue to fail to go into effect at the federal level. Many bills
