In a high‑stakes courtroom in San Francisco, Instagram’s head of product, Adam Moseri, took the stand to defend Meta Platforms Inc. against allegations that the company failed to protect minors from harmful content and predatory behavior. Moseri testified that Instagram has invested over $2 billion in safety tools, including AI‑driven detection of grooming attempts, age‑verification mechanisms, and expanded mental‑health resources. He acknowledged ongoing challenges but emphasized Meta’s commitment to collaborating with regulators and child‑advocacy groups. The trial, which could set precedent for tech‑company liability, is being closely watched by lawmakers and industry leaders alike. Legal analysts suggest that Moseri’s testimony may influence the eventual settlement terms and future regulatory frameworks for social media platforms.
