Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri testified before a California court on Tuesday as part of a lawsuit filed by 29 U.S. states alleging the company concealed information about a teen safety feature. The case stems from claims that Instagram misrepresented the usage of a tool designed to limit harmful content for minors. Mosseri said he is not trying to hide anything and emphasized that the company made the feature available to users. The states argue that internal data showed low adoption of the safety tool while promoting it publicly. Instagram said the feature was rolled out in 2023 and that usage metrics were not disclosed in public communications. The trial is expected to continue with further testimony and evidence presented. The outcome could influence future regulatory approaches to teen safety features on social media platforms.
