Lawmakers want change at Facebook but it’s easier said than done

US senators seem focused on regulating Facebook to protect its platforms’ youngest users, but there is no clear solution in sight.

A Facebook spokesperson said the company welcomes productive collaboration with Congress to keep teens safe online.
