YouTube, Meta and the case of the Infinite Scroll

About this episode

This episode explores a legal case against YouTube and Meta regarding their platform designs and the implications for internet responsibility.

Apply to Press Publish LA - ⁠presspublish.la For years, platforms have operated under one assumption: They aren’t responsible for what happens on their apps. This case challenges that. A jury found YouTube and Meta negligent not for the content on their platforms, but for how those platforms are designed. In this episode, we explore the case, the legal shift it represents, and why it may mark the beginning of a new era for the internet...one where attention comes with responsibility.
