Judge: Zuckerberg not liable for social media harm to children
The judge found a lack of specifics about what Zuckerberg did wrong, and said “control of corporate activity alone is insufficient” to establish liability.
US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, Calif., rejected accusations on Thursday that Zuckerberg directed Meta’s efforts to conceal from children the serious mental health risks of using Facebook and Instagram.
