Show Notes

The day after a New Mexico jury ordered Meta to pay $375 million in damages over child exploitation and user safety claims, an L.A. jury found Meta and YouTube liable for failure to warn users of the dangers associated with using their platforms. A young woman accused the social media giants of being responsible for her childhood addiction to technology and thus leading to her mental health struggles later in life. The companies were ordered to pay a total of $3 million in damages. Do you agree with the verdict? Do you question parental responsibilities in all of this? Tech writer and reporter for the Boston Globe, Hiawatha Bray, checked in with Dan to discuss this landmark case!
