Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared in a Los Angeles court on Wednesday, where he testified in a trial that has put his company in the spotlight over social media's harmful effects on children. A California woman who used Meta's Instagram and Google's YouTube as a child has said the apps fueled her depression and suicidal thoughts. The plaintiff started using YouTube at age six, Instagram at 11, then TikTok and Snapchat.

The Meta researcher's tone was alarmed. "Oh my gosh yall IG is a drug," the user experience specialist allegedly wrote to a colleague, referring to the social media platform Instagram. "We're basically pushers... We are causing Reward Deficit Disorder bc people are binging on IG so much they can't feel reward anymore." The researcher concluded that users' addiction was "biological and psychological" and that company management was keen to exploit the dynamic.

"We are disgusted by racist abuse received by Joe Willock on Instagram on Sunday evening," the club said. "Following our win over Crystal Palace, Joe received several direct messages from an Instagram account that included racial slurs and deeply disturbing threats of violence towards Joe and his family."

There he is. The mighty Martin Lewis, Britain's most trusted money man, sat in what appears to be his home office. He's turned his attention away from ISA rates and toward crypto, explaining why Elon Musk's new Quantum AI project is the "investment opportunity of a lifetime." The lighting is perfect. The voice uncanny. His blue sofa the exact shade you remember from a dozen ITV appearances.

"The MPA has worked for decades to earn the public's trust in its rating system," Naresh Kilaru, a lawyer for the MPA, said in an Oct. 28 letter to Meta. "Any dissatisfaction with Meta's automated classification will inevitably cause the public to question the integrity of the MPA's rating system," Kilaru added in the letter, which was shared with NBC News on Wednesday.
