Is the tide turning against social media giants in court?

from As It Happens

A U.S. jury finds Meta and YouTube designed their products to be addictive. I'll speak with a woman whose daughter died by suicide -- in part, she says, because of what she saw when she scrolled. For the first time in decades, Canada has met its defence spending target. Former army commander Andrew Leslie tells us this kind of support is past due -- and the work is far from over. We've got an all-dressed, two-for-one, double-decker feast of tales about the sandwich-obsessed city of Philadelphia. First: roll reversal. We hear from a bestselling romance author who's in trouble because one of her characters commits the cardinal sin of calling a sandwich from a Philadelphia chain a "sub" rather than a "hoagie."  And...high steaks. The only way to rescue the words "world's longest airport line" is to follow them immediately with "made entirely of cheese steaks"; we'll hear from the folks in Philly who made that dream a reality.As It Happens, the Thursday edition. Radio that gives you plenty to chew on.
