Sen. Marsha Blackburn has demanded Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg respond to whistleblower accusations that the tech giant “willfully” and “intentionally” pushed virtual reality products that “they knew” were harmful to children.

“If he [Zuckerberg] wants to refute what they [the whistleblowers] are saying, my door is open and I would welcome the opportunity to work with him on this issue,” Blackburn (R-Tenn.) told The Post in an interview Wednesday, adding: “The witnesses we had yesterday were very credible.” 4
