Meta Attorneys Seek Dismissal of Lawsuit Challenging Directors' Obligations

Attorneys for Meta and Mark Zuckerberg have requested a Delaware judge to dismiss a shareholder lawsuit that argues Meta directors should not solely prioritize the interests of the social media giant. The lawsuit claims that Meta's directors have breached their duties by prioritizing profits over broader societal and economic concerns, which can negatively impact Meta shareholders' investments in other companies. The plaintiff argues for a "portfolio theory" of corporate governance that considers external factors. Attorneys for Meta argue that the claims go against Delaware corporate law and should be dismissed. The judge has yet to make a ruling.
