The head of Instagram downplayed the devastating consequences social media can have on youngsters — telling a jury that his app isn’t an addictive digital drug, but more like a Netflix binge. Adam Mosseri, the face of the photo-sharing giant, rejected claims that the platform is clinically addictive, even as internal documents reportedly show his own employees calling themselves “pushers. ” “I think it’s important to differentiate between clinical addiction and problematic use,” Mosseri testified when he was questioned by the plaintiff’s attorney Mark Lanier.
