Mark Zuckerberg has been ordered to take the stand in thecivil trial accusing YouTube and Instagramof intentionally creating addictive social media platforms.
The California Post has learned the billionaire Meta mogul will come face-to-face with his alleged victims in the California Superior Court of Los Angeles County on Feb. 18.
And it could get ugly when Zuckerberg testifies and is forced to look in the eyes of his accuser, a now 20-year-old woman only identified in court as Kayley or K.G.M, who filed the claim.
She says her social media addiction led to mental health problems including anxiety, depression and body image issues, according to the lawsuit.
“Zuckerberg will likely try to express sympathy, and explain the measures Meta has taken to protect kids, but that tactic could get ugly if the victims start yelling and screaming from the gallery,” attorney Royal Oaks, who’s been attending the trial, told The Post.

Lawyers will “try to get Zuckerberg to blow his top” says Oaks, ”by being aggressive and somewhat insulting.”
”They know a jury could be repulsed by a billionaire’s temper.”
