Instagram's head, Adam Mosseri, testified in a California court, defending the platform against claims of causing mental health damage to minors, arguing that excessive use doesn't equate to addiction, as reported by multiple news sources. Mosseri stated that determining problematic use is personal, differentiating it from clinical addiction, and acknowledged Instagram's responsibility for user safety, particularly for young people. The trial, expected to last six weeks, aims to hold tech firms accountable for their impact on young users, with Meta, YouTube, Snapchat, and TikTok involved in the legal proceedings.
