LOS ANGELES —
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is set to testify in a landmark trial addressing the alleged harmful effects of social media on children, particularly focusing on a 20-year-old woman identified as KGM, who claims early use of Meta’s platforms led to addiction and mental health issues. This trial is a bellwether for numerous similar lawsuits against social media companies, with Zuckerberg facing tough questions about Instagram’s features designed to engage users. While Meta denies the allegations, attorneys argue that KGM’s struggles were exacerbated by her use of their platforms. The case follows recent testimony from Instagram head Adam Mosseri, who disputed claims of social media addiction.
