I’m not defending him at all, but why does it matter what Mosseri thinks? It doesn’t surprise me at all that [tobacco executive/drug dealer/social media executive] is downplaying their negative effects on society.

Isn’t it up to the parents to limit social media use?

It might not surprise me. But if Philip Morris started arguing nicotine isn't addictive, I'd assume they're no longer able to run their organisation without increased public oversight.

> Isn’t it up to the parents to limit social media use?

Sure. One way parents can do that is by encouraging their represenatatives to pass laws to protect their children.

That was the argument tobacco companies used, and the courts ruled against them, which is why it matters quite a bit what Mosseri thinks.

You just engaged in deflection and whataboutism on his behalf, but you aren't defending him?

It really seems like you're defending him.

I mean, do you expect him to be honest about his bad behavior when he makes millions of dollars? I’m not defending him, I’m just being realistic here
