Meta Instagram chief Adam Mosseri acknowledged in a US court that some teenage safety tools had very low adoption rates during early testing. The testimony came in a case brought by 29 US states seeking potentially $200 billion in penalties.

The bus was carrying 42 passengers and was travelling from Hyderabad towards Vijayawada and Eluru when the crash occurred near Dorakunta village on NH-65. Police said the impact was severe, with 20 passengers sustaining serious injuries. Four are reportedly critical.
Police and local residents launched rescue operations and shifted the injured to hospitals, with the seriously injured taken to Kodad Government Hospital. A case has been registered, and officials are investigating whether over-speeding, driver negligence or other factors caused the crash.
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy expressed grief and directed officials to ensure the injured receive the best possible treatment.
A cement-laden truck sank into the road in Gurugram's Sector 9 following continuous rainfall and waterlogging, highlighting the impact of heavy showers on the city's roads.
Several areas, including Narsinghpur, witnessed severe traffic congestion on Tuesday morning as water accumulated on roads. The rainfall also worsened roads already damaged by previous showers.
The Gurugram District Disaster Management Authority had advised corporate offices, schools and other institutions to ask employees and staff to work from home to reduce traffic and allow civic agencies to carry out road and drainage repairs.
Congress MP Randeep Singh Surjewala criticised the Haryana government over the situation, alleging widespread flooding, traffic chaos and poor infrastructure. “Gurgaon infra has 'collapsed'! Waterlogged & Jammed Roads! Advisory is to 'work from home'! Nayab Saini & BJP Govt's Delivery.”
He further alleged, "School buses stranded, roads & streets flooded, people getting electrocuted, govt & administration missing, chaos prevails, fend for urself, and ₹1,400 cr spent, zero result! Calling it 'Millennium City Gurugram!'"
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's upcoming New York event has sparked a political row, with Mayor Zohran Mamdani saying he does not support it while acknowledging the city may have limited authority over a private gathering.
