(18 Feb 2026) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS Los Angeles - 18 February 2026 1. Various of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg walking into court surrounded by media, a man attempts to serve Zuckerberg with papers and drops them in front of him as he’s walking by STORYLINE: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg arrived at Los Angeles Superior Court Wednesday to testify in an unprecedented social media trial that questions whether Meta's platforms deliberately addict and harm children. Meta's CEO is expected to answer tough questions on Wednesday from attorneys representing a now 20-year-old woman identified by the initials KGM, who claims her early use of social media addicted her to the technology and exacerbated depression and suicidal thoughts. Meta Platforms and Google’s YouTube are the two remaining defendants in the case, which TikTok and Snap have settled. Zuckerberg has testified in other trials and answered questions from Congress about youth safety on Meta's platforms, and he apologized to families at that hearing whose lives had been upended by tragedies they believed were because of social media. This trial, though, marks the first time Zuckerberg will answer similar questions in front of a jury. and, again, bereaved parents are expected to be in the limited courtroom seats available to the public. The case, along with two others, has been selected as a bellwether trial, meaning its outcome could impact how thousands of similar lawsuits against social media companies would play out. A Meta spokesperson said the company strongly disagrees with the allegations in the lawsuit and said they are “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
