"The head of Instagram has arrived to testify in an ongoing trial to answer whether the social media platform he runs is intentionally addictive and harms young users. Adam Mosseri, who has led Instagram for eight years, appeared Wednesday at a courtroom in Los Angeles, where a landmark trial examining the mental health effects of Instagram and YouTube started this week."
"The trial, which started on Monday, is expected to last six weeks, and serve as a test of legal arguments seeking to prove harm caused to young people from social media and hold tech firms accountable. The companies are facing thousands of other cases brought by their families, state prosecutors, and school districts across the United States. Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg and Neal Mohan, chief executive of YouTube, are among the other high-profile figures expected to testify in the case."
Adam Mosseri, who has led Instagram for eight years, appeared in Los Angeles to testify about whether Instagram intentionally addictes and harms young users. Mosseri, one of Meta's top executives, was scheduled to be questioned in court all day. Meta contends that the lead plaintiff, identified by initials K.M.G., was harmed by other factors in her life rather than her Instagram use. The trial began on Monday and is expected to last six weeks as a focal legal challenge over social media's effects on youth. Thousands of related cases exist and other tech leaders are expected to testify; Snapchat and TikTok settled beforehand.
