Today's hearing is titled A Crisis, which calls for immediate action.
As a mother, this is personal, and I share the sense of urgency.
X is an entirely new company, an indispensable platform for the world and for democracy.
You have my personal commitment that X will be active and a part of this solution.
While I joined X only in June of 2023, I bring a history of working together with governments, advocates, and NGOs to harness the power of media to protect people.
Before I joined, I was struck by the leadership steps this new company was taking to protect children.
X is not the platform of choice for children and teens.
We do not have a line of business dedicated to children.
Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to open an account.
Less than 1% of the U.S. users on X are between the ages of 13 and 17. And those users are automatically set to a private default setting and cannot accept a message from anyone they do not approve.
