Lindsey Graham caused a dramatic little scene at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week when he accused Mark Zuckerberg of having blood on his hands for allowing so much hate, vitriol, and misinformation to be spread across Facebook and Instagram.
The CEO of Meta was there to testify about the company’s content moderation policies, specifically regarding users under the age of 18. He was joined by Twitter X CEO Linda Yaccarino, TikTok CEO Shou Chew, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel, and Discord CEO.
The CEOs of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, Snap, and Discord testified in the Senate on Wednesday to discuss the online exploitation of children. The discussion brought up the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), a bipartisan bill that seeks to protect minors from online harm. But KOSA has come under fire from some LGBTQ+ activists and groups who fear that the bill will enable Republicans to block queer youth from seeing age-appropriate LGBTQ+ content online.
“Mr. Zuckerberg, you and the companies before us, I know you don’t mean it to be so, but you have blood on your hands,” the gay-hating senator said, adding, “You have a product that’s killing people.”
Politics, but make it gay!
Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!
He also accused that the social media companies of having “dangerous products” that destroy lives and “threaten democracy.”
🙄 🙄 🙄
"You have blood on your hands. You have a product that is killing people," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg during a Senate hearing with tech CEOs testifying about child safety practices on their platforms. https://t.co/kPLplQERgTpic.twitter.com/fn0XcubLac
While most agree that social media can have a hugely negative impact on people, especially young people, Graham’s outrage over the matter rings particularly hollow.
He is pretending to care about the safety and well-being of youths who are bullied and abused online while simultaneously supporting one of the biggest internet trolls the world has ever known: Donald Trump.
Perhaps nobody has weaponized social media more than the ex-president, who was actually banned from Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram in 2021 after using the platforms to incite a deadly insurrection on the U.S. Capitol. He has since been invited back to Twitter, now X, by trans-hating billionaire Elon Musk.
On top of that, Graham himself participated in Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia when he placed two calls to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in November of that year and pressured him to “explore the possibility of a more favorable outcome for former President Donald Trump.”
Now, what was that he said about threats to democracy again?
Lindsey Graham is no doubt reaching for his smelling salts right now.
Of course, none of this is surprising. Graham loves talking out of both sides of his mouth almost as much as he loves sipping a mint julet on a veranda.
In the book Find Me the Votes: A Hard-Charging Georgia Prosecutor, a Rogue President, and the Plot to Steal an American Election, out this week, authors Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman detail how quickly the Trump sycophant threw the ex-president under the bus during his testimony to the grand jury investigating the failed efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia in 2020.
“After fighting a four-month legal battle all the way to the US supreme court to block his grand jury subpoena – and losing … Graham turned on a dime ‘and threw Trump under the bus’, the authors write.
“According to secret grand jury testimony in Fulton county confirmed by the authors, Graham testified that if you told Trump ‘that martians came and stole the election, he’d probably believe you’. He also suggested to the grand jurors that Trump cheated at golf.”
It’s a good thing Donald doesn’t actually read books or Lindsey would be in a lot of trouble for what he said!
Graham also prompted eye-rolls after praising conservatives for keeping their noses out of his business.
Don't forget to share:
Help make sure LGBTQ+ stories are being told...
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
Not a fan of Zuck, but if I were him in that hearing yesterday my response to Graham’s opining about how his social media company is harming children would be:
“Senator if you REALLY care about the wellbeing of our children you wouldn’t be throwing up roadblocks to common sense gun control laws considering guns kill more kids in their schools than any social media website ever has.” And promptly then shot him the finger and walked out.
Not only would that have resulted in a contempt of Congress charge, the very reason these CEO’s are there is to placate Congress so they don’t get the sh*t regulated out of them. It might be a nice to imagine it, but actually acting like a petulant child is not the way to go.
There’s any easy response these social media companies can take to the threat of being regulated to hell.
De-platform every politician making the threat. Watch just how fast they’d change their tune when there numerous, free of charge, open to the public soap boxes to opine from get yanked out from under them.
Actually, Wiki, I’d take the response even a step further:
Dangle the carrot out to the politicians saying, “You want your account back? PASS GUN CONTROL NOW! Then we can talk about the “evils” of social media of which you deeply depend upon.”
I promise you, these people would crumble and fold like a drunk newbie at poker table in Vegas.
You are lying again. I don’t use that word lightly, but I know you are lying because I’ve gone over this several times with you.
The House Republicans passed a sweeping border security package last year, H.R. 2: Secure the Border Act of 2023. NO DEMOCRATS SUPPORTED THE BILL!
Republicans don’t control the Senate and don’t control the Executive branch.
The House bill is being negotiated in the Senate, but the Senate Democrats still want over a million illegal aliens every year to come into our country.
Republicans have done what they can do legislatively; except impeach Biden.
BIDEN CAN SHUT DOWN THE BORDER TODAY IF WANTS TOO.
Trump, if he should win, will shut down the border immediately. He will use the United States Constitution, exactly how Obama sent 3 million illegal aliens back to their home country.
Just in the last 48 hours, 155 Democrats voted against deporting illegal aliens who committ Social Security fraud.
Also, 150 Democrats just voted against a bill to deport illegal aliens convicted of driving while drunk. Do they have a driver’s license? No. Do they car registration? No. Do they have car insurance? No. Are they putting American lives at risk by driving drunk? Yes. Do Democrats care more about foreign nationals more than their own citizenry? Yes.
STOP LYING! Biden and the Democrats have created this disaster and they own it and the American public knows it. Everytime you lie about this issue, I will be right behind you posting the truth.
ALIGHTY WISE MAN, AS SOON AS THAT FAT OANGE BUCKET OF DOGSHIT GET ELECTED HELL CLOSE THE BORDER AND KICK OUT ALL OF THE MIGRANTS AND ILLEGALS!
OK THEN…WHO IS GOING TO GO INTO THOSE FIELDS AND HARVEST YOUR PRODUCE NOW?
FOR 12 HOURS A DAY.
IN 115 DEGREE HEAT.
FOR $7 AN HOUR.
YOU?
“FARMERS NEED TO PAY MORE! THEN ‘REAL AMERICANS’ WILL DO THOSE JOBS!”
NOPE.
JUST ASK THE GUY IN CALIFORNIA WHO GROWS GRAPES. YOU DIC*S KEPT CALLING ICE TO HAVE HIS WORKERS DEPORTED SO HIS WORKERS STOPPED COMING TO WORK OUT OF FEAR THEY’D BE NAILED.
HE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO ADVERTISE $25 AN HOUR FOR PICKING THE GRAPES.
WANNA KNOW HOW MANY SHOWED UP? 100. WANNA KNOW HOW MANY WERE STILL THERE AT NOON? 11. WANNA KNOW HOW MANY WERE STILL THERE AT THE END OF THE DAY?
1.
ONE!!!
SO, WHAT WILL YOU NOW SAY WHEN YOU CLOSE THE BORDER, KICK OUT ALL THE MIGRANTS AND ILLEGALS, AND WE ALL THEN GET TO PAY $25 FOR A F’ING HEAD OF LETTUCE AND $30 FOR A BAG OF APPLES? OF COURSE, THAT’S ASSUMING YOU CAN EVEN FIND LETTUCE OR APPLES BECAUSE, WITHOUT THE PEOPLE WILLING TO DO THOSE JOBS, THE PRODUCE IS ROTTING IN THE FIELDS.
A GROWER WILL NOW PAY $50 FOR A BUSHEL OF ORANGES. WHO DO YOU THINK WILL HAVE TO ABSORB THE OUTRAGEOUS COST INCREASE? THE GROWER?
NOPE…KEEP GUESSING YOU GENIUSES.
WHAT I FIND MOST AMUSING IS ALL THE YEARS YOU TOOK FULL ADVANTAGE OF LOW PRICES THAT WERE ONLY LOW BECAUSE THOSE FRUITS AND VEGGIES WERE PICKED BY…
WHO?
OH YEAH…ILLEGALS!
HMMMM…SEEMS A BIT HYPOCRITICAL DOESN’T IT?
SO, WHEN ONLY THE WEALTHY WILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD FRESH, FROZEN, OR CANNED PRODUCE, WHAT WILL YOU SAY?
OOPS?
WILL YOU TELL AMERICANS THAT YOU WERE TOO STUPID TO FIGURE OUT MIGRANTS AND ILLEGALS MADE UP MOST OF THE WORKFORCE ON FARMS AND YOU WERE UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT THAT IF YOU GET RID OF ALL THOSE WORKERS, YOU’VE BRAVELY OPENED UP A MILLION JOBS FOR “REAL AMERICANS”…
UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WERE JOBS THAT “REAL AMERICANS” NEVER WANTED TO DO!!!
SO…GO AHEAD…I’M SURE IN YOUR INFINITE WISDOM YOU’VE ALREADY COME UP WITH YOUR OWN BRILLIANT IDEAS FOR HOW TO KEEP AMERICANS FED AND KEEP THE US ECONOMY FROM CRASHING AND BURNING!
I love you Cher impersonation with ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. You need some emojis and you’re all set.
When has America ever needed 10,000,000+ migrants to pick oranges? Never.
I grew up in the Midwest. Towards the end of every summer, workers were needed to de-tassel corn in the fields. And every year high school-aged kids were hired and did the work. It wasn’t a cushy job, but the kids got extra money every summer.
Do you know of a time when America did not have enough migrants that it was detrimental to our economy that “WE ALL THEN GET TO PAY $25 FOR A F’ING HEAD OF LETTUCE AND $30 FOR A BAG OF APPLES”? Me neither.
If Zuckerberg manufactured guns instead of running a social media website, the republicans wouldn’t be wagging fingers in his face, they’d be kissing his ass.
No one has “Facebook” as their cause of death. Meanwhile guns, used as directed, killed 43,000 people in America last year. This doesn’t even include the number of people crippled and maimed.
If you don’t like it, take it up with ABC News, liar.
“Deaths by suicide have made up the vast majority of gun violence deaths this year. There’s been 22,506 deaths by gun violence this year, an average of about 66 deaths by suicide per day in 2023.”
54/46 is not a vast difference. It is a slight difference. Regardless of how ABC describes it. And anyway, isn’t ABC one of the ‘fake news’ purveyors, as your people define things? Oh yeah. I forgot. Your people have trouble with definitions, as the difference between ‘vast’ and ‘slight’ has already demonstrated.
This is why I call Baron, Baron Whataboutism. He wouldn’t have anything to say if he didn’t pivot to something irrelevant like assisted suicide which is actually a humane thing to do since it typically is requested by people with terminal illness who simply wish to die with dignity and has to be signed off on by no less than 3 physicians that all certify the illness is terminal.
But, facts never seems to penetrate his thick skull.
SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon Supreme Court said Thursday that 10 Republican state senators who staged a record-long walkout last year to stall bills on abortion, transgender health care and gun rights cannot run for re-election.
The decision upholds the secretary of state’s decision to disqualify the senators from the ballot under a voter-approved measure aimed at stopping such boycotts. Measure 113, passed by voters in 2022, amended the state constitution to bar lawmakers from re-election if they have more than 10 unexcused absences.
Telling suicide victims to go to Canada is conflating suicide with euthanasia. Assisted suicide is compassionate while suicide is still gun violence. Assisted suicide is not done with guns.
Of course you think compassion is a death cult. You don’t think trumpism is a cult.
Baron can’t think critically. Don’t bother. He thinks there’s a crisis at the border b/c “brown people are coming in” and doing…… something???? He’s not sure what, but he doesn’t like it.
A lot of lame non sequiturs in this comment thread! Gun control laws are laudable IMO but they have nothing to do with child sex videos – which of course are ALREADY ILLEGAL but Facebook and the other companies are not doing much about them, and meanwhile are still profiting from them! But most commenters here got so busy blasting Miss Lindsay, they forgot this is about child sex videos on social media. Much as I hate (in general) that little weasel Zuck and pretty much all he hath wrought, he acted appropriately by apologizing to the victims present.
Even pearl-clutching Baron Pinky doesn’t point out, hey, this is really about child sex abuse on social media. No no, Baron Pinky *logically* responds by bringing up the border of all things.
Get a grip, ‘folx,’ this is about child sex abuse on social media!
Graham’s calls for WWIII to begin by striking Iran seem the worst of all of his nonsense. However, few here actually call for peace – even while objecting to our continual weapons and military failures. Our empire has not won a single conflict since WWII; yet, Biden refuses to lift a finger to stop Israel from pulling us into another middle-east loss.
Our military is stretched far too thin and is unprepared for modern warfare. Listen to Scott Ritter on YouTube – a weapons inspector knows more than the elite know-it-alls and their fawning media. Listen to a former marine who has experience. Israel can blow up building with our weapons; but, they can’t win. Seems that the right-wing elite nations (the USA and Israel) are on the Nazi path to fascism and destruction. A simple cease-fire would return us to safety; but, that would mean Netanyahu would lose power.
Biden won’t stop Netanyahu probably because he fears that AIPAC will spend millions of dollars to defeat him. Look at how they offer $20,000,000 in PAC money to defeat “squad” members in the primaries. Search “AIPAC vs. AOC & The Squad: Pro-Israel Lobby Group to Spend $100M to Target Progressive Lawmakers”. Greed and the love of money is the root of all this evil.

Look at how they offer $20,000,000 in PAC money to defeat “squad” members in the primaries. Search “AIPAC vs. AOC & The Squad: Pro-Israel Lobby Group to Spend $100M to Target Progressive Lawmakers”. Greed and the love of money is the root of all this evil.

He has so much else to do.
Fox News drama queen, a bussy massage, pandering to the few remaining that will give him money.
