Zuckerberg's courthouse entourage included Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses

Mark Zuckerberg arrived at the Los Angeles Superior Court early Wednesday wearing a navy blue suit and tie. He wore no glasses, but was flanked by longtime executive assistant Andrea Besmehn and an unidentified man who wore Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses as they walked up to the courthouse.

The presiding judge warned that anyone using glasses to record inside the courtroom would be held in contempt of court. Smart glasses have stirred trouble at other trials: last year, during Meta's dispute with the Federal Trade Commission, New York Times reporter Mike Isaac posted on X that he had been reprimanded for wearing Meta Ray-Bans.

Zuckerberg took the stand in a Los Angeles trial accusing major social platforms of designing addictive products that harmed young users. The plaintiff, identified in filings as "KGM" and now 20, alleges Instagram and YouTube worsened her depression and suicidal thoughts after she began using the apps as a child.
