Former Meta engineer resumes testimony in landmark trial over social media's harm to young users
Former Meta engineering director and critic Arturo Bejar is set to continue his testimony on Wednesday in a landmark trial over allegations that the company designed its platforms to addict young users, mislead the public about safety, and illegally collect data from users under 13. Bejar, who worked at Meta from 2009 to 2015 and returned as an independent contractor from 2019 to 2021, is the first witness in the trial brought by a coalition of states against Meta.
The trial, scheduled to last six weeks, is taking place in an Oakland, California federal courthouse.
