Ep. 321: State AGs Fight Your Kid's Facebook Addiction

Published: Oct. 27, 2023, 10:41 p.m.

This week saw 41 U.S. states and the District of Columbia launch an all-out legal blitz against Meta, alleging that the tech giant is using addictive features to get kids hooked onto Facebook and Instagram. This week on Pro Say, the hosts break down the particulars of the suit, and how it fits into the broader push for more child-oriented safeguards on social media. Also this week, a Google executive wins a $1.2 million gender discrimination verdict, but can\u2019t convince the jury she was illegally paid less than her male counterparts, and it\u2019s the end of an era as the LSAT eliminates the \u201clogic games\u201d portion of the exam to settle a years-old lawsuit. Finally, the hosts unpack the implications of an octogenarian judge who claims he\u2019s \u201ctoo old\u201d to have heard of 74-year-old conservative rocker Ted Nugent.
