In a landmark trial, Adam Mosseri, the current head of Instagram (since 2018), testified on behalf of parent company Meta, currently under scrutiny for allegedly designing its platforms to be addictive to young users. The trial, ongoing in the United States, is spearheaded by 29 US states, who accuse Meta of causing anxiety, depression, and even suicide among young users while misleading consumers about platform safety. Particularly, the lawsuit claims that Meta delayed the implementation of a "Take a Break" feature aimed at curbing addiction until September 2024, nearly three years after its launch. Mosseri refuted these allegations, asserting that few teenagers wanted the feature and it was activated by default in Teen Accounts, launched in 2024, which have parental controls. However, former Meta employees have suggested that features like "Take a Break" were difficult to find and not widely used, casting doubt on their effectiveness in limiting screen time for young users. The trial is expected to last six weeks, with the jury issuing an advisory verdict and US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers deciding whether Meta is liable, determining any civil penalties, and mandating potential changes to Facebook and Instagram.
