There has been a lot of news about a lot of lawsuits filed against Big Tech.

Just last week….

Social Media Trials Usher in Big Tech’s Latest Moment of Reckoning:

“‘The message is clear,’ New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez, whose investigation resulted in a jury finding on Tuesday that Meta must pay $375 million for failing to protect kids from child predators, told POLITICO in an interview. ‘It’s time to change the way these companies do business.’

“Less than 24 hours after the New Mexico verdict, jurors ruled against Meta and Google-owned YouTube in a Los Angeles social media addiction trial, ordering a total of $6 million in damages.

“The widely popular platforms, along with others like Snap and TikTok, once appeared unstoppable as they designed their algorithms for maximum user engagement….

“Tech’s critics are pouncing, determined that this time they will deliver Silicon Valley its long-threatened comeuppance.”

The wheels of justice turn slowly.  And by that I mean these court cases often take many years to arrive at a conclusion.

These cases have already taken years.  And they ain’t anywhere near a conclusion:

“The companies have vowed to appeal.”

Shocker.

These are but two of oh-so-many lawsuits filed against Big Tech. (more…)
