In a landmark trial in Los Angeles, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is facing intense scrutiny regarding the impact of Instagram and YouTube on young users' mental health. During his testimony, Zuckerberg defended Meta against allegations that the company misled Congress about its platform design, stating, "I always wish we could have gotten there sooner" in relation to identifying users under 13. This trial is particularly significant as it addresses claims from a now 20-year-old woman identified as 'KGM', who alleges that these platforms are designed to be addictive and have contributed to her depression and suicidal thoughts. With over 1,500 similar lawsuits pending, the outcome could reshape the legal landscape for Big Tech (BBC US & Canada, South China Morning Post).
