The Morning After: Senate tells social media CEOs they have ‘blood on their hands’


The biggest news stories this morning: Apple’s Vision Pro will have Microsoft Teams, Word, Excel and other 365 apps at launch, eBay will pay $59 million to settle DOJ suit over pill press machine sales, Universal Music could pull Taylor Swift and Drake from TikTok.

During the hearing, Mark Zuckerberg, Evan Spiegel, Jason Citron, Linda Yaccarino and Shou Chew spent nearly four hours being grilled by lawmakers about their records on child safety. Judiciary Committee Chair, Senator Dick Durbin, noted Discord’s Citron “only accepted services of his subpoena” after US Marshals went to the company’s headquarters. If a deal isn’t struck, TikTok creators would lose access to songs from stars including Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, the Weeknd, Drake and others.
