Zuckerberg took Halwey up on the request and apologized to the families. The CEO of Meta stated, “I’m sorry for everything you’ve all gone through.” He continued, “Nobody should have to go through what your families have suffered. This is why we have invested so much and are going to continue industry-leading efforts to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things your families have suffered.” “This is why we’ve invested so much … to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things that your families have gone through,” he added.
