Episode 15: Third-Party Liability – Platform Responsibilities: Post-Cox and Social Media Addiction Cases

As the technological landscape continues to evolve, courts are actively redefining when platforms and intermediaries may be held responsible for harms caused by third-parties. The discussion will cover landmark decisions including Cox v. Sony, alongside recent Supreme Court guidance in Twitter, Inc. v. Taamneh and Gonzalez v. Google, as well as the growing body of social media addiction litigation against platforms such as Meta and TikTok that focuses on algorithmic design, product features and alleged encouragement of harmful user behavior.
