Social Media on Trial Unpacking the Landmark 2026 Decisions
About this program
In the span of 24 hours in March 2026, juries returned historic verdicts against Meta in both New Mexico and Los Angeles, reshaping what platform liability looks like in practice. Panelists break down what these decisions mean for practitioners, covering the product defect theories that circumvented Section 230, what plaintiffs must prove, the pending cases to watch, the science behind the addiction framing, and the criminal defense implications for attorneys advising clients today. Participants will leave with a comprehensive understanding of the evolving legal landscape around social media liability and practical tools for advising clients in this rapidly developing area.
This OnDemand CLE program earns 1 hour of General credit in California. It aired May 8, 2026 and features Eric Goldman, Elizabeth Grossman, Professor Jess Miers, and Jeremy Rosenthal.
