Zuckerberg defended Meta in a Los Angeles court against accusations of making teenagers addicted
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta and owner of Instagram, faced a challenge in a Los Angeles court on Wednesday to defend his company against accusations of targeting teenage users, while confronted with a set of internal company documents.
During the session, he emphasized that the plaintiffs’ lawyers are not presenting a correct interpretation of Meta’s internal communications.
These documents have been presented as part of an important trial that examines whether social networks are addictive for children and teenagers.
This marks Mr. Zuckerberg’s first appearance before a jury, an appearance that comes after years of increasing criticism against Meta, which also owns WhatsApp and Facebook.
In this case, YouTube, owned by Google, is also present as one of the defendants. This court case is being closely watched by observers due to its potential implications for thousands of similar lawsuits.
