February 18, New Delhi — Mark Zuckerberg is testifying for the first time before a jury about claims that his social media platforms have harmed children and teenagers.
Zuckerberg's testimony in a significant trial regarding social media addiction provides Meta's CEO with an opportunity to defend the company's efforts to protect young users.
Parents who claim their children were harmed or died as a result of social media are traveling from across the country to attend. They say this hearing represents a crucial moment of accountability for Meta, following years of concerns about the safety of young people on its platforms, Facebook and Instagram.
