Mr Mosseri is the most high-profile figure from Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, to testify before members of Congress since Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen leaked hundreds of internal documents.Australia's property prices smash records in 2021 with fastest growth on record

"In addition to making sure young people are safe on Instagram, we believe it's important to support young people who are struggling with mental health and wellbeing," Mr Mosseri said. "I'm a father of three. To any parent who's lost a child already, even had a child hurt themselves, I can't begin to imagine what that would be like for one of my three boys," he said.

'before ICAC reports'? She's finished, regardless of what ICAC reports. We've all heard the tapes and seen the footage. Morrison keeps making out that Berejiklian was cleared, and I've seen no-one in the media challenge that blatant lie.
