Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Facebook’s parent company Meta, testified on Tuesday in a trial over US antitrust regulators’ efforts to stop the tech giant from buying a virtual reality startup called Within Unlimited.

At issue is whether Meta’s acquisition of the small company that makes a VR fitness app called Supernatural will hurt competition in the emerging virtual reality market.
