Judge Lets States Use Key Meta Witness | Los Angeles News
Description
California just got a major win in its lawsuit against Meta, with a federal judge greenlighting the state to bring key witness Arturo Béjar to testify right at the start — a move Meta desperately tried to block. The judge slammed Meta’s attempt to sideline Béjar as a “Hail Mary,” calling it a last-ditch effort to remove a crucial voice. Béjar, a former Meta engineer, has long accused the company of ignoring child safety and knowingly harming kids through its platforms. This trial marks the first time Meta faces a federal court verdict after losing major state cases with huge damage awards and product mandates. With evidence and testimony hitting the courtroom early, the stakes are sky-high as states push for sweeping changes — while Meta fights back, calling demands “unsubstantiated and excessive.”
