Partner David Slossberg Discusses Meta Verdicts on WICC's Melissa In the Morning

Hurwitz Sagarin & Slossberg Partner David Slossberg appeared on WICC's "Melissa in the Morning" radio show today to discuss two landmark jury verdicts against Meta for failing to protect children on its social media platforms.

Slossberg provided analysis on last week's $375 million verdict in New Mexico, where a jury found Meta violated the state's unfair trade practices law by misleading consumers about platform safety and failing to safeguard users from child predators. He also discussed the Los Angeles verdict awarding $6 million in damages to a young woman who alleged Meta's Instagram and YouTube caused severe mental health harm through deliberately addictive design features.

As Connecticut's leading authority on the state's unfair trade practices law (CUTPA), Slossberg offered insight into the legal significance of these cases and their potential implications for the wave of similar litigation pending against social media companies
