Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is trying to testify in person only once in a series of federal social media addiction lawsuits, proposing videotaped testimony for other trials. Plaintiffs argue this would unfairly protect Zuckerberg and weaken their cases, demanding live testimony for each trial. The judge is expected to decide soon, weighing the need for efficiency against the value of live cross-examination. This comes amid Meta's recent legal losses over its apps' impact on teen mental health and safety.
