Instagram chief takes the stand in a trial pitting Meta against states over social media harms
Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, testified in a trial questioning Meta's safety measures against accusations from four states. The states argue that Meta's design contributes to a youth mental health crisis by creating addictive features. Mosseri dismissed the emphasis on low usage of a "take a break" feature, emphasizing that the company continuously improves safety and well-being across various aspects. The trial, ongoing in federal court in Oakland, California, is expected to last about six weeks.
