LOS ANGELES - Meta Platforms chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg pushed back in court on Feb 18 against a lawyer’s suggestion that he had misled Congress about the design of its social media platforms, as a landmark trial over youth social media addiction continues.

Mr Zuckerberg was questioned on his statements to Congress in 2024, at a hearing where he said the company did not give its teams the goal of maximising time spent on its apps.
