Instagram Chief Says ‘No Silver Bullets’ for Teen Safety in Bellwether Trial

Adam Mosseri is the boss, or chief, of Instagram. He recently talked in a court case. This court case is very important for how apps work for young people. Many states say that Instagram makes its app to keep young users online for a long time. They say the app has features that make young people want to use it more and more, which can be addictive.

Mr. Mosseri said that it is hard to make apps completely safe for teenagers. He used a phrase, "no silver bullets." This means there is no one easy answer or quick fix to make everything perfectly safe. He thinks that teen safety online is a very big problem with many parts.

This case is a big trial. It is important for Instagram and other social media apps. It helps decide how these companies should help keep young users safe. Instagram says it tries to make tools to help, but the states think it is not enough. They want apps to change how they are built to better protect young people.
