Mark Zuckerberg took the stand yesterday in a case that alleges Meta platforms such as Instagram and Facebook are purposely designed to be addictive to children. One of the first things the judge did was warn anyone wearing smart glasses that recording the proceedings would result in contempt of court charges.
The case, K.G.M. v. Meta et al., involves a 20-year-old Californian identified as Kaley who claims that years of using Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat as a child led to body dysmorphia, depression, and self-destructive thoughts. TikTok and Snap Inc., Snapchat's parent company, have already settled in the case
Yesterday was Zuckerberg's turn to take the stand. The Meta CEO was escorted into the building by a team of people, at least two of whom were wearing Meta Ray-Ban glasses.
