A deposition of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who is accused of violating state consumer protection laws by failing to disclose what it knew about addiction and child sexual exploitation on its platforms, was shown to jurors in a trial in New Mexico about the impact of social media on teenagers and children. Prosecutors are seeking to determine if Meta violated state consumer protections laws by not disclosing its knowledge of addiction and sexual exploitation. Zuckerberg responded to the use of the word "addictive," but insisted that he was not trying to censor the platforms. He also acknowledged that he initially set goals for employees to increase the amount of time teenagers spent on its platform in an effort to increase business revenue and the number of platform users. The case could set the course for thousands of similar lawsuits against social media companies.
