Adam Mosseri

QuestionFrames "Instagram for Kids" itself as a potential "gateway drug" to more platform usage, and asks why it was paused, whether the pause is permanent, and whether Mosseri worries it would hook kids further.

ResponseMosseri defends the original rationale (kids already online younger than the product was designed for), doesn't answer whether the pause is permanent, and again confirms he personally made the pause decision.
