  "account": "Instagram's chief executive Adam Mosseri is set to testify on Tuesday in a legal case alleging that Meta Platforms created Instagram and Facebook to addict minors, disregarding their safety. This lawsuit involves 29 U.S. states and is considered a significant test of social media's impact on young users. California, Colorado, Kentucky, and New Jersey have accused Meta of designing the platforms to lure young users, leading to anxiety, depression, and even suicide, while deceiving consumers about their safety. All 29 states claim Meta violated federal law by improperly gathering and using personal data from children under 13 while they used its platforms. Mosseri's appearance in court was confirmed by California Attorney General Rob Bonta's office.",
