Instagram head Adam Mosseri testifies in defense of Meta in child safety trial

In a high-stakes child safety trial, Instagram head Adam Mosseri took the stand to defend Meta's practices, countering claims from four states that the platform was deliberately designed to hook children while misleading the public about the associated risks. Mosseri's testimony highlighted Meta's efforts to improve child safety features, but the broader implications of this case could reshape how social media companies are held accountable for the impact their platforms have on young users. The outcome could lead to significant regulatory changes or new guidelines governing social media design and transparency.
