00:00 "United States Senators demand an explanation from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg regarding an

00:06 Instagram warning screen.

00:08 They say potential child sex abuse material may appear behind it."

00:12 Zuckerberg is given 11 days to provide more information on the warning screen and how

00:16 Meta's platforms handle child sex abuse material.

00:20 The warning screen reportedly appears when one uses search terms bringing up potential

00:24 child sex abuse content.

00:27 The warning screen will either let the user turn away or see results anyway.

00:31 Choosing the latter option will allow the user to see the violative content.

00:36 The letter is a follow-up demand after a January 31 U.S. Senate hearing where Zuckerberg testified

00:41 along with officials from other social media platforms.

00:45 One senator accused the tech companies of having "blood on your hands" for failing

00:50 to protect children on the platforms.
