Instagram chief Adam Mosseri said Wednesday during testimony in a high-profile social media trial that he thinks there can be problematic usage of social media, but does not think it constitutes an addiction.
“I’m sure I said this, but I think it’s important to differentiate between clinical addiction and problematic use,” said Mosseri, who noted several times that he is not a medical professional.
Mosseri said that sometimes the use of the word addiction can refer to something more casually, and noted that while he may have once said he was addicted to a Netflix
show, that’s not an actual clinical addiction.
