The top local stories from KERA News:
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is expected to testify in a federal court in Dallas today. A lawsuit seeking $2 billion in damages accuses one of his companies of stealing trade secrets and destroying evidence.
Zenimax alleges Facebook misappropriated the company’s trade secrets and stole technology for the Oculus virtual reality headset. Zenimax owns id software, a game company based in Richardson.
Facebook’s lawyers argued Zuckerberg should not have to answer questions in the trial, but a judge dismissed that argument.
