The Excerpt · Are social media giants like YouTube liable for addiction? · 2 Feb 2026 podcast

That's a good point because we think about two different fronts.

We have litigation and legislation.

How could people go after social media platforms if they want?

Do they litigate or do they legislate?

I think if if there are a series of plaintiff verdicts here and of course, these will be appealed.

So that will be a long appellate road process.

But if there are a series of plaintiff verdicts here and they're upheld on appeal, this will be huge.

It could open the floodgates to more litigation.

Although, of course, right now we have thousands of cases already pending.

There are cases filed by public school districts.

There are cases filed by the attorneys general of states.

There are cases filed by local governments.

We've also seen they're kind of adjacent to these, but cases saying that chatbots have caused harm to minors or caused minors to commit suicide.

So I think we're really at a pivotal kind of inflection point right now where all of these cases are rising up and converging at one time.

So it's really an important moment in time in terms of free speech for social media platforms, free speech for minors to access it.

And on the other hand, protecting minors from harms that social media platforms might cause.

Thank you very much for having me.

I appreciate the opportunity.
