Zuckerberg Faces Criticism During Testimony on Minor Use of Social Media

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, expressed regret on Thursday for the company's delay in identifying minor users on the Instagram platform during a historic trial regarding the effects of social media on teenagers.

The session witnessed sharp criticism directed at Zuckerberg regarding the company's policies and measures to protect younger age groups, amid accusations that the platforms have contributed to worsening issues such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and suicide among youth.

This case is expected to set a legal precedent that may impact the course of thousands of lawsuits filed against social media companies, which are blamed for the decline in mental health among minors.
