YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Meta boss and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg took the witness stand in a high stakes trial, as grieving parents who say they lost children to the dark side of social media came to face him head on. Zuckerberg rejected the suggestion that Instagram’s main goal was to maximize the time kids spend on the app, saying “That’s not how we run the company now.” NBC’s Laura Jarrett reports for TODAY.
