Instagram executive admits to omitting low usage of teen safety tools in court testimony
Meta's Instagram chief Adam Mosseri testified in a US court that he promoted teen safety features without disclosing low early adoption. The trial involves accusations from 29 states.
In a California court on Tuesday, Instagram's head Adam Mosseri acknowledged that he touted newly launched safety tools for teens without revealing low adoption rates from early testing. The admission came during the second week of a trial in which a coalition of 29 US states accuses Meta of deliberately designing its products to hook children and gather their data while misleading the public. Jason Slothouber, a lawyer with the Colorado Attorney General's office, questioned Mosseri about the usage of features called Take a Break and Quiet Mode, which were launched in 2021 and 2023. Other witnesses have also testified in the trial, which is expected to last through late September.
