    Post headline deserves a downvote. Quote from article:

    Lanier asked Mosseri what he thought of K.G.M’s longest single day of use of Instagram being 16 hours.

    “That sounds like problematic use,” the Instagram boss answered. He did not call it an addiction.

    He also didn’t say it was a tomato. Like wtf do you want, I can’t tell if he was asked specifically if 16 hours a day was an addiction. The prior question was about whether he had known she had a 16hr day, and he had not. (He should have; poor trial prep.)

    This is sensationalist BS and I dearly want this platform to be better than that.

    Just so we’re clear, Meta can die in a fire and the world would be better off, I’m not defending them in the slightest.

        I just dislike sensationalism.

        If the truth isn’t enough, then I don’t want it.

            Hopefully Analog returns to Lemmy in far less than 12 days, and heavily edits their comments to reflect their error

                  Since you care deeply about truth or something, when will you be correcting your comments that, at best, lack huge amounts of truth that change the contents you put forth? At best, you accidentally skipped multiple paragraphs that contradict your claims. At less best, you knew better.

                    Post said he said a thing. He did not say the thing. Not complicated.

                    Could have worded the post title to be accurate: didn’t. Instead, lied.

                    Words matter. Truth matters. Interpretation is how you get religious people performing atrocities based on millennia old writings.

                    “[Asshole] Squirms Under Questioning, Refuses To Admit 16hrs A Day Is Addictive Behavior.”

                    Not hard.
