Instagram负责人亚当·莫塞里（Adam Mosseri）周二在加州奥克兰联邦法院出庭作证，为Meta平台的安全记录辩护1。此次庭审旨在应对来自加州、科罗拉多、肯塔基和新泽西四州的诉讼，这四州指控Meta故意设计令儿童成瘾的功能，加剧青少年心理健康危机1。本次庭审预计持续约六周1。
庭审中，检方质疑Instagram“休息一下”功能在青少年中使用率低1。前Meta员工乔治·沃利琴科（George Volichenko）作证称，Instagram心理健康团队的主要目的是保护公司应对诉讼1。沃利琴科称，该团队曾建议为低龄青少年自动开启“休息一下”功能，但因“对核心指标的权衡不可取”而未获批准1。Meta在2024年推出独立青少年账户后，将“休息一下”功能设为青少年用户默认设置1。2023年共有29个州起诉Meta涉及儿童安全与隐私，其余25个州将稍后开庭1。此外，在此前洛杉矶州法院诉讼中，Meta和Google被判承担责任，原告“KGM”获赔600万美元1。
Instagram head Adam Mosseri took the witness stand on Tuesday in a federal court in Oakland, California, to defend the safety record of Meta's platforms 1. He is testifying in a lawsuit filed by California, Colorado, Kentucky, and New Jersey, which accuse the tech giant of intentionally designing addictive features for children and worsening the youth mental health crisis 1. The current trial is expected to last approximately six weeks 1. This case is part of a broader legal battle, as 29 states initially sued Meta over child safety and privacy issues in 2023, with the remaining 25 states scheduled for later trials 1.
During the proceedings, prosecutors challenged the low usage rate of Instagram's "Take a Break" feature among teenagers 1. Meta made this feature a default setting for teen users after introducing standalone teen accounts in 2024 1. Former Meta employee George Volichenko testified that the company's Instagram mental health team was primarily established to shield the corporation from litigation 1. Volichenko further revealed that the team had proposed automatically activating the "Take a Break" function for younger teenagers, but the idea was rejected because "weighing core metrics was not advisable" 1.
The trial follows a recent legal defeat for the tech companies in a separate Los Angeles state court case, where both Meta and Google were found liable and ordered to pay $6 million in damages to a plaintiff identified as "KGM" 1.
