New Mexico jurors watch Zuckerberg deposition in Meta child safety bellwether trial

Jurors in a bellwether trial about the impacts of social media on children are studying a deposition from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Shown in a New Mexico courtroom on Wednesday, the video interview with Zuckerberg explores research and company discussions about negative experiences among young users of Instagram and other Meta social media platforms. Prosecutors say Meta failed to disclose what it knows about the harmful effects of its platforms, in violation of state consumer protection laws. Meta says the company discloses risks and makes efforts to weed out harmful content. Depositions from Zuckerberg and Instagram leader Adam Mosseri are centerpieces of the case.
