Patel told Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) that he was ready and willing to work with Congress on addressing problems related to social media.
“I think not only are some of these sites designed to be addictive, unfortunately, the reality is some of these sites are designed to generate income, and many people are generating income based on this illegal trade,” Patel said.
Graham asked, “Do you think it’s now time for America to deal with this problem?”
Patel answered, “I’m all in. I have been all in, and I’m happy to work with Congress to do so.”
Graham said, “I tell you what, having the FBI director all in is great news for me, and I hope the committee will respond.”
