February 18, New Delhi – Mark Zuckerberg is testifying for the first time before a jury regarding allegations that his social media platforms have harmed children and teenagers.
Zuckerberg's testimony in a significant trial concerning 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 use are traveling from across the country to attend.
