Adam Mosseri hits the stand to explain why Meta is definitely 'totally safe'
The face of Instagram just walked into a courtroom to convince states that their algorithms are not actually digital crack for teenagers.
Four different states have decided they've had enough of the infinite scroll and are dragging Meta to court. The core argument is that Facebook and Instagram were engineered to be addictive, and that the company spent years gaslighting everyone about the actual risks to kids.
Adam Mosseri (male) showed up to defend the honor of the algorithm. It turns out, when you build a machine designed to keep eyeballs glued to a screen, people get a bit touchy about whether it's wrecking an entire generation's mental health. The legal strategy seems to be 'everything is fine, we are doing our best,' while the states are busy digging up internal memos that suggest otherwise.
It takes a special kind of confidence to look a judge in the eye and claim a platform built for dopamine loops is just a wholesome community hub.
