Mark Zuckerberg said he reached out to Apple CEO Tim Cook to discuss wellbeing of teens and kids
Summary
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified that he reached out to Apple CEO Tim Cook in 2018 to discuss the wellbeing of teens and kids using their services. He defended Meta's decisions around Instagram features such as cosmetic filters, saying the company considered expert feedback but prioritized self-expression and found insufficient causal evidence of harm. Lawyers pressed Meta on internal engagement goals, the presence of underage users, age verification, and studies alleging negative effects on teenage girls. Meta denies the allegations; the Los Angeles trial is part of a wider set of cases critics call the social media industry's 'Big Tobacco' moment.
