Instagram chief Adam Mosseri is scheduled to testify in a major court case targeting Meta’s child safety practices, according to multiple outlets. The lawsuit focuses on alleged design choices intended to keep young users engaged and on whether Meta misrepresented risks to parents and the public.
The case involves action by 29 U.S. states, described by some experts as one of the largest legal tests of social media’s effects on children. One outlet reports that four states are among the plaintiffs, framing the dispute as claims that Facebook and Instagram were built to “hook” kids and that Meta allegedly lied about the dangers. Other coverage emphasizes the broader scope of the states’ legal effort and the stakes for how courts may evaluate “addictive” features and youth harm.
Outlets also differ in emphasis: some highlight the significance of Mosseri’s role and the trial’s potential implications for regulation and accountability, while others focus more directly on the allegations about deceptive statements and youth-targeted engagement strategies.
