Mark Zuckerberg

QuestionReads direct quotes from Meta's own SEC 10-K filing (signed by Zuckerberg) stating that financial performance depends on retaining and engaging users, and that "younger users" specifically are noted as at risk of switching to substitute products.

ResponseZuckerberg confirms signing the 10-K but doesn't dispute or elaborate on the quoted engagement-dependency language before Ossoff moves to the fiduciary-obligation question.
