About this episode
The episode discusses Meta's $18 billion settlement over social media addiction claims, featuring Lori Schott's personal story, alongside other tech-related news and viral TikToks.
Meta agreed to pay $18 billion. It’s the largest settlement of its kind, over claims the company built Facebook and Instagram to hook children on purpose. Lori Schott knows exactly why that matters. She lost her daughter Annalee to suicide in 2020 after social media consumed her life. Lori has spent every year since fighting to get platforms, and parents, to change. Her story will stop you cold. Plus, a Kentucky family turned down $26 million from an AI data center for their 200-year-old farm. Their answer? They’re waiting for Jesus. (Seriously.) And two viral TikToks worth your time. Maria spotted a security camera right outside her exam room. At a gynecologist’s office. Yikes. B.D. watched his Shake Shack order get more expensive in real time. Why? He didn’t tip at the kiosk. That video is past 4 million views. Milkshakes bring all the fees to the yard.
