Episode 374: Big Tech on Trial: Can Social Media Cause Addiction?

Episode 374 | Live From America Podcast Big Tech is facing a landmark lawsuit — can social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube legally be blamed for addiction and mental illness? Attorney Danny joins Live From America to break down the social media addiction trial, algorithm liability, regulation, and the future of the internet. In this episode, we examine one of the most important tech law cases in years: a plaintiff claims social media companies knowingly designed addictive products that harmed minors. We explore how courts determine causation, whether algorithms create responsibility, and what happens if Big Tech loses. The discussion expands into regulation, age restrictions, and the challenges of governing rapidly evolving technology. The conversation also covers Don Lemon’s legal case, the release of Epstein documents, and why defendants sometimes invoke the Fifth Amendment before trial.
