 Zuckerberg, Mosseri, and Spiegel must testify in trial over child social media safety

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel, and Instagram head Adam Mosseri have been ordered to testify in the first trial addressing the impact of social media on children, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled Monday. The “bellwether trial” is scheduled to begin in January.

Judge Carolyn B. Kuhl emphasized that the CEOs’ testimonies are uniquely relevant because their knowledge of potential harms and any failure to mitigate them could demonstrate negligence. The ruling comes amid allegations that social media companies designed features intended to be addictive and encourage compulsive use among minors. Meta had sought to block Zuckerberg and Mosseri from testifying, citing prior depositions and potential interference with business, while Snap argued that compelling Spiegel to appear would be an abuse of discretion. The case is part of a broader wave of lawsuits claiming that social media platforms contribute to mental health issues in children.
