Dagen McDowell introduces a Fox Business report on a landmark social media addiction trial where a top YouTube executive, Christos Goodrow, is testifying. Reporter Ashley Webster is live from Los Angeles, explaining Goodrow's role as VP of Engineering and head of search/discovery, who oversees algorithms for content and user engagement.
