Instagram boss Adam Mosseri testified in a California court that social media use seen as excessive for one person could be normal for another. He defended his platform against claims it caused mental health damage to minors. The trial is expected to last six weeks and will test legal arguments aimed at holding tech firms accountable for impacts on young people. Mosseri agreed that Instagram should do everything within its power to help keep users safe, especially young people. However, he said it’s not possible to say how much Instagram use is too much, as it’s a ‘personal thing’. He also differentiated between clinical addiction and problematic use, comparing it to binge-watching a Netflix show.
