We just showed statements on the screen, but in summary, both companies disagree with the verdict.

Meta is looking at its legal options.

Google plans to appeal.

And as we said at the start of the segment, both stocks are under pressure.

Later in the show, we'll get into the kind of business and what side and why the stock's under pressure.

But you set out what happened, Bloomberg's Madeleine Mekelberg, who was in the courtroom in Los Angeles.

Thank you.

Joining us now with more on the implications of the case is Eric Goldman, Associate Dean for Research at Santa Clara University School of Law.

And Eric, you've joined us throughout this process.

We now have a jury verdict.

I think to start, just your response to the outcome of this specific case.

Again, the companies do not agree with the outcome.

Google plans to appeal.

We know Meta is looking at its options.

One of the things that you're cited as looking at is the level of damages awarded in this specific case.

And I think we discussed in prior conversations the context that there are other legal proceedings going alongside this in parallel with this case.

But why focusing on the damages?

Why is that important?

Effective marketing is smarter, not louder.

Cutting-edge technology alone won't deliver better experiences or outcomes.
