from WSJ Opinion: Potomac Watch · host Paul Gigot, The Wall Street Journal
The lawsuit in California involves a young woman who says addictive use of social sites led to anxiety and body-image problems. But can she prove causation, does Section 230 immunity stand in the way, and is this the right role for the courts? Plus, Australia's ban on users under 16 has deactivated five million accounts.
