How can you form an option about whether it’s cherry picking if you’re unaware of the context?

As I understand it, the decks linked there are altered post-controversy. I think there are wsj links to the original decks that are more damning.

You don't. The decks aren't altered. They are annotated. The FB released ones are also much higher quality than the WSJ scans.
The ultimate issue here (unless I'm misunderstanding the controversy) is about whether Facebook decided to act on the findings of the study which showed Facebook/Instagram was causing harm to teenagers. This sentence from Zuckerberg seems to be disputing the findings of the study, and implying that everything everyone is saying is wrong and/or a lie (or a "mischaracterization" as you called it)
Zuckerberg has zero credibility in my eyes, so I am inclined to call bullshit on that. But if the actual original study is out there, I might skim through it to see if this is just another one of his lies.
