A. · Response
Steve Satterfield
QuestionCruz asks whether Satterfield inquired before testifying about whether Zuckerberg knew of the research, whether that falls within his job purview given his title, and then repeatedly presses — as yes/no questions — whether Meta's own research actually concluded the body-image and suicidal-ideation statistics being discussed.
ResponseSatterfield never gives a direct yes/no confirmation of either the body-image or suicidal-ideation research conclusions, repeatedly citing attorney-client prep discussions and his own lack of subject-matter responsibility, and offers only to arrange a briefing.
