I’m seeing a pattern. Instagram chief Adam Mosseri also used feigned ignorance to play dumb about addiction, suddenly pretending he was afraid to use words.

“I’m sure I’ve said that I’ve been addicted to a Netflix show when I binged it really late one night, but I don’t think it’s the same thing as clinical addiction.”

Yet, Mosseri repeatedly said he was not an expert in addiction in response to Lanier’s questioning.

But Adam Mosseri knew better, same as Zuck. He was confronted with evidence of addiction but didn’t want to hear it.
