Arturo Béjar, a former safety engineer at Meta, told a jury during testimony this week that the company was aware of harm its products caused children, including recommendations that pushed content from sexual predators and violent and graphic images. Béjar said he repeatedly raised the issue to various Facebook and Instagram executives but the company did little to resolve it.
According to Béjar's testimony during the landmark trial against Meta, the company had adopted a "don't ask, don't tell" strategy when it came to the safety of children on its social media platforms.
