social media trial

Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri distinguished “problematic use” from clinical addiction during a social media trial. Meta faces allegations of misleading the public about platform safety, particularly for young users. The trial examines how features like infinite scroll and cosmetic filters may contribute to mental health issues. Mosseri testified that filters are not a direct revenue driver but aim for engagement, and Meta implemented a “focused ban” on certain harmful filters after internal discussions about well-being risks and business competitiveness.
