The politicians characterize Horizon Worlds as a poorly understood and potentially dangerous environment, and Zuckerberg's plans as unacceptable.
“With its documented failure to protect children and teens, Meta has lost the trust of parents, pediatricians, politicians, and the public,” the senators categorically state.
Senator Markey is known as the author of the landmark Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which came into effect at the dawn of the Web in 1998.
