Is This the End of the Infinite Scroll?

from The Discourse · host Courtenay Roche

SOUND ISSUES FIXED! Mark Zuckerberg is evil. Social media is soul-destroying. Water is wet. Tell me something I don’t know! Despite our collective disdain for the careless and money-hungry antics of Meta and friends, the social media giants have enjoyed over two decades of near immunity from legal recourse thanks to a little legislative life preserver called Section 230. Last month, all that changed. After Meta was found guilty in TWO landmark lawsuits targeting the platform for its exploitative and addictive design, legal experts and tech execs across the country are reeling, wondering what comes next. The question on everyone’s lips: Is this big tech’s big tobacco moment? The jury’s still out. But who better to probe this unprecedented legal maelstrom than C + C? (Don’t answer that!)In addition to the minutiae of internet regulatory policy, we also cover: ➡️ What’s actually legal and illegal on the internet ➡️ The slot machine-ification of social media➡️ FMK: McKinsey, Meta, and Lockheed Martin ➡️ The book that made Courtenay concede to her lifelong opp➡️ Why social media addiction is NAWT your fault➡️ The new cast of SLOMW OC (somehow relevant)Buckle up! The Discourse is about to get… meta  ;)
