Instagram head Adam Mosseri begins testimony at Meta child social media addiction trial

Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, has begun testimony in a legal trial involving Meta. The proceedings center on allegations that the company intentionally designed its platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, to foster addiction among children and misled the public regarding the associated risks.

The litigation is brought by four states seeking to hold the social media giant accountable for its platform design choices and safety disclosures. Mosseri’s testimony serves as part of Meta’s defense against these claims, marking a significant moment in the ongoing scrutiny of social media's impact on younger users.
