Geeze you are peddling some fierce misinformation

The "won't someone think of the LGBTQ+ teens" move while defending the company whose own internal research showed its algorithms harm those exact communities is really something.

Great verdict. Now is a great time to discuss the Algorithm Accountability Act.

Jury holds Meta and Google liable for role in young woman's mental health issues The verdict marks the end of the first-ever jury trial over whether tech giants should be held accountable for social media addiction. It may influence the outcome of 2,000 other pending lawsuits.

The jury also decided that their actions should trigger punitive damages - there will be a separate phase of the trial where the jury will decide what amount of damages are appropriate

Meta and YouTube found negligent in LA social media trial

This is a great verdict for holding companies liable for creating services that harm people. Legislation like the Algorithm Accountability Act will be another important step.

How do you process testimony from Arturo Bejar and the other documents that have come out in the case?

Jury finds Meta liable in case over child sexual exploitation on its platforms | CNN Business A jury on Tuesday found Meta violated New Mexico law in a case accusing it of failing to warn users about the dangers of its platforms and protect children from sexual predators.

I would be excited if we were on a path for this globally. I haven't seen evidence that we are

When we celebrate only the green production side, we make people feel like this is a solved problem

My main point is that we are consuming more energy in aggregate rather than replacing. In order to make our climate collapse less bad, not only do we need to celebrate clean production but dramatically reduce fossil consumption.

And yet....

I assume it was in the business plan

Inexcusable!

"Instead, let’s expand on a technique from the ACA: cap out-of-pocket costs based on income no matter where the person gets insurance. This cap can be used in Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance so that no middle-class person would pay more than 10% of their income on health care costs."

The Algorithm Accountability Act sponsored by Senator Kelly is a great approach here. I strongly encourage it

Telling me you think I am wrong doesn't make my position wrong. They do have lawyers, and you can't say they will win all of these cases. Tobacco thought it would win all the cases until it didn't. You can also limit these liabilities until companies cross a specific size, so it is not existential.

Lawyers claim things all the time. Judges and juries sort it out. It's how our system works. I like how you are resorting to personal attacks and all caps YoU Are WrOnG!!!!! rather than addressing the issues. Really shameful TBH. Do you now think our system of courts works?

Calling me stupid wouldn't count; I have been clear on that. Are you arguing that social media and the selection of content has no impact on people? Is there no situation where the algorithmic amplification of specific content causes harm? I can't imagine you would make that case.

If a bartender seeing someone extermely intoxicated and visibly in danger and continues to serve them drinks for profit, they are liable. The algrotithm is spotting pockets of people at risk and then serving them content directly related to fostering those harms. As for how do you know, in court.

Also, I have been in the rooms at Meta, and I can assure you that that talking point is used to help dissuade regulation that they don't want, not a true point of fact that "regulation kills competion"
