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

Adam Mosseri is the boss of Instagram. He goes to court to talk about Meta. Meta is the big company that owns Instagram and Facebook. Four states in the USA say that Meta makes its phone apps bad for children. They say Meta designs Instagram and Facebook so kids want to use them all the time. This means the apps can be like an addiction for young people.

The states also say that Meta did not tell people about the dangers. They say Meta hid information about risks for children using the apps. This trial is very important. It is about how social media affects young people and their mental health.

Adam Mosseri speaks for Meta. He tells the court that Meta cares about child safety. He talks about special tools and rules Meta has for young users. These tools help parents control what kids see and how long they use the apps. Meta wants to show that its platforms are safe places for children. The court will decide if Meta is responsible for these problems.
