"I think it's important to differentiate between clinical addiction and problematic use,"
"It's a personal thing, but yeah, I do think it's possible to use Instagram more than you think it helps,"
Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, defended the platform in Los Angeles court and argued social media platforms are not intentionally engineered to be addictive. Mosseri differentiated between clinical addiction and problematic use and acknowledged that Instagram can be problematic when people spend excessive time on it, noting he is not a medical professional. The trial is a bellwether in consolidated cases from more than 1,600 plaintiffs alleging owners of Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Snap designed addictive products that harmed young users' mental health for profit. TikTok and Snap settled with the primary plaintiff ahead of trial; related suits continue.
