Former Meta data scientist George Volichenko testified that just 0.2% of teens used Instagram's 'Take a Break' feature when it was opt-in. Instagram chief Adam Mosseri defended Meta's safety record in a US trial accusing the platform of contributing to youth mental-health harms. States pressed Mosseri over the low usage, and former Meta staff said safety measures faced internal concerns about engagement metrics. Meta has since made the feature default for teen accounts.
