A former Meta safety engineer testified the company knew its products harmed children, including showing content from predators. Arturo Béjar told a jury he raised these issues to executives, including Mark Zuckerberg, at least 100 times. He stated that Zuckerberg had given a "false and misleading impression" regarding Meta's dedication to young people.
