WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Attorneys for Meta and Mark Zuckerberg asked a Delaware judge on Wednesday to dismiss a shareholder lawsuit asserting novel claims about the roles of corporate leaders and arguing that the loyalties of Meta directors should not lie exclusively with the social media giant.

James McRitchie, who runs a website focused on corporate governance and shareholder activism, argues that Meta's directors have breached their duties to the company by putting profits over broader societal and economic interests, including Meta shareholders’ investments in other companies.
