Mosseri denies hiding teen data as Meta faces $18B settlement and whistleblower criticism
Instagram head Adam Mosseri testified that he was unaware of internal efforts to limit his access to negative teen safety data, calling it 'news to me.' This testimony occurred alongside the announcement of an $18 billion settlement between Meta and 29 states, which mandates strict time limits and safety defaults for minors. While Meta denies wrongdoing, whistleblower Arturo Béjar argues the settlement fails to address the core algorithmic harms that make platforms addictive.
