Meta’s legal jeopardy is growing by the day
… Twenty-nine state attorneys general accuse the company of knowingly designing addictive products that harm the mental health of children.
The accusations are similar to a suit brought by an individual earlier this year, a young woman, that the company had negligently operated defective products. She won her case.
Another state, New Mexico, brought a suit to trial against Meta earlier this year, accusing the company of knowing of and allowing for child sexual exploitation on its social networks. Meta also lost that case, and a judge imposed a nearly billion-dollar fine over the phases of the trial. The accusations by New Mexico’s attorney general bear less resemblance to Tuesday’s case than the young woman’s, focusing on crimes committed on Facebook rather than damage to a person brought on by their own use of the social network.
Is this not election interference?
Fake polling from mysterious company highlights danger of unvetted election surveys
Locked in a competitive reelection race, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass declared on social media last week that a new poll was evidence that her campaign was “gaining momentum.”
Just a few days later, the truth emerged: The poll was fabricated.
The California results were among at least three “polls” across three states posted online this month by Median Strategies, a previously unknown organization that admitted to the Los Angeles Times on Monday that the purported results were fake. The company wrote before shuttering its website this week that it “was created as a short-term social experiment examining how purported polling information could enter and spread through the political information ecosystem without independent verification.”
The post offered no explanation of who was behind the “experiment” or for what purpose.
It’s confusing. Who is in charge? Who are we negotiating with?
