Parents have been raising concerns about social media for years—and now the courts are starting to catch up.
In this episode, we’re joined by Tori Hirsch, legal counsel at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE), to break down two major court cases involving Meta.
We unpack the New Mexico case, where the company was found liable under consumer protection laws, and the California bellwether trial examining social media addiction through product liability. Along the way, Tori explains why these cases matter, why Section 230 didn’t block them, and how platform design is becoming a key legal battleground.
We also discuss what came out in court about algorithms, infinite scroll, internal warnings, and the gap between parental control tools and what families can actually use.
And we address the question parents hear all the time: “Where are the parents?” These cases reinforce what many families already know—parents matter, but they were never meant to carry this alone.
