In the span of just 48 hours this week, two separate juries in two different US states delivered verdicts that could reshape the entire social media industry — not because of the dollar amounts involved, but because of what those verdicts legally establish for the first time. On Tuesday, March 24, a jury in Santa Fe, New Mexico ordered Meta to pay $375 million for failing to protect children from sexual exploitation on Facebook and Instagram. Less than 24 hours later, on Wednesday, March 25, a jury in Los Angeles found both Meta and Google (YouTube) liable for engineering addiction in young users — finding them negligent in the design of their platforms and awarding a further $6 million in damages.

we did write about the dangers of Planking and how people had lost their jobs there have been deaths reported and many arrests.

So for those who now like to do a little Owling, please ensure that it is done only in a safe place.
Update: After Owling it is now Batting, read out article on it here. Please be sure to leave a comment on what your views.
