On Tuesday, August 25th, 2026, Instagram head Adam Mosseri testified in a trial where Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is being sued by four U.S. states. The lawsuit alleges that Meta intentionally designed its platforms to hook children and misled the public about the risks involved. The case centers on claims that Facebook and Instagram’s design features target young users in ways that compromise their safety.

The trial highlights growing concerns over social media’s impact on children and the responsibilities of tech companies. Mosseri’s testimony is part of Meta’s defense against these allegations.
