Courts are no longer debating whether social media causes harm — they’re ruling that it does.
In this episode of Today in Tech, Keith Shaw speaks with Lisa Strohman, founder of the Digital Citizen Academy, about the legal tipping point that could reshape the entire social media ecosystem. From landmark cases in New Mexico and California to the growing scrutiny of algorithms, advertisers, and AI, this conversation explores what accountability really looks like — and who might be on the hook next.
The discussion goes beyond platforms like Meta and Google to examine the broader ripple effects:
* Could advertisers be held responsible for where their ads appear?
* Will AI companies face similar liability risks?
* Are businesses underestimating the reputational and legal exposure tied to these platforms?
* And perhaps most importantly — what does this mean for parents, schools, and the next generation of users?
This isn’t just a story about social media anymore. It’s about a potential shift in how technology companies — and the companies that rely on them — are held accountable.
