On February 18th, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared in court as a witness in a landmark trial on social media safety. Zuckerberg admitted that a significant number of users had falsely reported their age when registering for Instagram. Experts described this trial in Los Angeles as a "big tobacco" moment for the social media industry. Instagram head Adam Mosseri testified last week that he did not believe "social media addiction" was equivalent to "clinical addiction."
