Instagram head Adam Mosseri is set to testify for the first time before a Senate subcommittee on Wednesday as lawmakers question the app's impact on the mental health of younger users.
Mosseri is the most high-profile figure from Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, to testify before members of Congress since Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen leaked hundreds of internal documents. Some of those documents showed the company knew how Instagram can damage mental health and body image, especially among teenage girls.
Ahead of the hearing this week, Instagram launched a new tool called Take a Break, which it claims will encourage users to spend some time away from the platform after they've been scrolling for a certain period. The company also said it will take a"stricter approach" to what content it recommends to teenagers and actively nudge them toward different topics, such as architecture and travel destinations, if they've been dwelling on something — any type of content — for too long.
