Zuckerberg takes stand in social media addiction trial

Season 2026 Episode 39 | 5m 05s

Mark Zuckerberg took the stand in federal court to defend Instagram against allegations that it was deliberately designed to be addictive to children and teens. It's the first time he's testifying about child safety in front of a jury. YouTube is also included in the lawsuit. TikTok and Snapchat chose to settle before the trial began. Geoff Bennett discussed the implications with Bobby Allyn.
