Instagram head Mosseri, at children's addiction trial, says few teenagers knew of safety feature
Adam Mosseri, Instagram's head, testified at a trial in Oakland, California, about Meta Platforms' alleged design of Instagram and Facebook to addict children. Mosseri, who has headed Instagram since 2018, denied claims by U.S. states suing Meta that Instagram had delayed making the "Take a Break" feature the default setting for teenagers until September 2024. The feature encourages users to close Instagram after set periods, and Mosseri estimated that before it became default, only a small percentage of teenagers used it.
