This week on The Heat is On…Big Tech on Trial, the spotlight was on Mark Zuckerberg — but it didn’t stay there for long.
Nicki Petrossi and Sarah Gardner take you inside a dramatic week in court as Zuckerberg faced questioning about youth safety, platform design, and internal company practices — followed by testimony from a former insider whose statements directly conflicted with his.
In this episode:
- The most revealing exchanges from Zuckerberg’s time on the stand
- The key claims he made — and what evidence challenged them
- A whistleblower’s testimony that told a very different story about how platforms operate
- Emotional reactions from parents watching it unfold in real time
- Why legal observers say this week could shift momentum in the trial
- A new Annual Report by Bark connecting Kaley's harm to children today

This isn’t just a trial. It’s a turning point.
