Thanks so much for having me, Ed.
So it's hard to track because there's a lot going on in this area.
So there's not only the lawsuits that you're talking about here with that are brought by state attorneys general, but there's also the individual plaintiffs who are suing.
And we saw a verdict in one of those cases in Los Angeles in March.
And then third, there's a group of school districts that are also suing social media companies, including Meta.
Now, each of these have different legal theories behind them.
Now, the attorneys general are suing on broad themes that the companies have violated, sort of consumer protection laws and a federal law called COPPA, which requires companies to treat children's data in a certain way.
The Los Angeles verdict was about products liability, and the school districts are suing on public health nuisance grounds.
Absolutely, in a number of ways.
I think it's a lot like the old adage about going bankrupt.
It happens slowly and then all of a sudden.
And what we've been living in is that slowly moment.
So I think a few points here.
First, the companies themselves know that things are not looking good.
They are beginning to settle cases that they picked themselves to go to trial.
i mentioned the school districts for example the first of those bellwether cases again that means that the company selected it as the most optimal case for them to bring to trial was in kentucky and they settled it just a few days before that trial was supposed to start just two weeks ago youtube settled another lawsuit in florida again this was one that they selected just before it went to trial so
The facts are not looking great.
The fact that we have so many different whistleblowers and so many internal documents that are so damning that not only did they know what they were doing, but they intentionally kept doing it despite the harm to kids is causing a huge amount of blowback with the American public.
And it's not really a compelling case for juries.
Is that number going to come down?
