Analysis Summary

The article accurately reports that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is testifying in a landmark social media addiction trial before a jury, facing questions about child safety issues. This is strongly corroborated by verification sources including wunc.org, nbclosangeles.com, msn.com, and mynews4.com. While the exact quote about Instagram's 'value' isn't explicitly found, the sentiment that a Meta executive dismisses social media addiction is supported by aol.com. The article's language, particularly the use of 'grilled,' introduces a slight bias by emphasizing the adversarial nature of the questioning.
