Meta quietly tried to block attorneys from asking Mark Zuckerberg about his massive fortune at the bombshell social media addiction trial in Los Angeles, according to court documents reviewed by The Post. The owner of Instagram and Facebook made a confidential request to “shield Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s founder, CEO, and controlling shareholder, from the very same scrutiny that other witnesses have faced,” according to a filing unsealed last Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The plaintiffs allege that Zuckerberg — who currently ranks as the world’s fifth-richest person with a personal net worth of $231 billion, according to Bloomberg — turned a blind eye to rampant harm to teens caused by his apps in order to protect his profits.
