Head of Instagram Agrees to Testify Before Congress About Algorithms

After an onslaught of requests, Instagram head Adam Mosseri will testify before Congress next month as the popular photo-sharing app continues to face scrutiny from lawmakers about its effect on young people. Mosseri will appear before a Senate subcommittee during the week of Dec. 6, as part of a series of discussions on ways to protect children online, an aide to Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, chair of the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety and Data Security, said.
