Mark Zuckerbergās testimony in a landmark social media trial puts Metaās engagement practices under courtroom scrutiny with implications for Silicon Valley.
Mark Zuckerberg testimony anchors a social media trial in Los Angeles, where 12 jurors hear claims about platform design and youth well-being.
At issue is whether an engagement-driven business model and alleged defective designāspanning infinite feeds, algorithms, and notificationsāconstitute legal liability.
Plaintiff KGM, 20, alleges early use of YouTube and Instagram fostered compulsive behavior and worsened depression and suicidal thoughts, while Meta and Google deny the claims, citing mental health complexity, safety tools, and parental controls.
With TikTok and Snap settling, Meta and YouTube face a bellwether case focused on product architecture rather than user content, as jurors assess the meaning of āengagement.ā #zuckerbergtrial #socialmediaaddiction #meta #legalliability #techethics
