In the midst of various local and international issues in Ecuador, a pressing global matter has emerged: the court appearance of Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, who is being sued for allegedly promoting addictions through his popular social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. The lawsuit originates from a user who claims that her excessive use of these platforms during adolescence resulted in depression and suicidal thoughts.

During the court proceedings, Zuckerberg faced rigorous questioning, consistently responding with a series of 'No' answers accompanied by conditional statements like 'I don't think so' and 'It doesn't seem to me.' The case highlights broader concerns about the mental health impacts of social media, especially among young users who may be particularly vulnerable to addiction and its associated risks.

This legal battle not only spotlights Zuckerberg but also raises significant questions about the responsibilities of tech companies in addressing mental health issues linked to their products. It reflects a growing global awareness of the societal implications of technology and the urgent need for regulation and accountability in the industry.
