You can't talk about free will or personal responsibility when the software is actively manipulating brain chemistry to hook a user before they can even process the decision to walk away. -

By framing the issue around psychological dependency, the lawsuit completely strips away Big Tech's favorite defense: the idea of "personal user choice."For years, the industry line has been, "If you don't like it, just close the app," or "It's up to parents to monitor screen time." That argument completely falls apart when a product is explicitly engineered to bypass conscious choice.

It treats algorithmic feeds the exact same way the law treats a car manufacturer that builds a braking system known to fail under stress.It is a massive, systemic fight.

They are arguing that the code itself—the proprietary, closed-source recommendation engines and interface architectures—constitutes a defective and inherently dangerous consumer product deliberately designed to induce anxiety, depression, and sleep deprivation. -

Why the Legal Strategy Has ShiftedFor decades, tech companies hid behind blanket liability protections, claiming they were just passive pipes delivering other people's content.
This lawsuit flips that defense entirely. The prosecutors aren't suing over what people are saying on the platforms. They are suing over product liability.

Your social media "addiction" is your own responsibility:

The best place to address compulsive behaviors is not at the algorithmic level, but at the parental level.

It is also good to acknowledge the many scholars and researchers working in this burgeoning field of bioprinting regulation. #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #bioprinting #health #publichealth #IP #innovation #productliability #consumerrights #dataprotection #privacy

Good (and long) read on liability and AI. Some of the questions explored:
Are AI models "products" and therefore model developers can be liable for damages (via lawsuits) for harm caused by use of the models?
Is AI not a product, but rather a "service".
Should regulators conduct pre-release safety reviews of AI to create safety and notification requirements? Should developers implement post release "monitoring" and to continuously assess and notify of possible dangers.
Are end users, not the model developers, responsible for harm created to themselves or for harm end users cause to other 3rd parties by the use of AI models? https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/products-liability-for-artificial-intelligence #AI #Liability #Lawsuits #Cybersecurity #LLMs #productliability

@critter_in_flux I feel as if the intention was right but the authors do not understand the business models involving #FOSS at all. Or - if I put my paranoid hat on - it is designed to look as if it cares about FOSS while effectively destroying it.
How did this happen without anybody spotting it?
#EU #ProductLiability #Produkthaftung -
The more I’m (re-)reading this the more I’m expecting it to become an extinction level event for #FOSS:
Any commercial activity involving FOSS / #openSource will mean liability for any damage caused by any component, whether you are IBM or a one person show.
It even seems to make the sponsor of a download server for a Linux Distribution reliable for any damages caused by the software included. If not they will have fun figuring it out in courts.#EU #ProductLiability

By 2019 popular non prescription #heartburn #medication #Zantac was recalled from retail after it was found to contain an #antihistamine that blocks the release of stomach acid called N-nitrosodimethylamine (#NDMA) that is linked to causing #cancer.
#Drug Mfgr #GSK has reached $2.2bn #legalsettlement in US that is supposed to cover 93% of user cases brought thus far.
Previously #GlaxoSmithKline had paid $70m to settle with the lab that discovered the issue, and other big #drugmakers that also marketed the #OTC drug, including #Pfizer and #Sanofi, have already reached sizable settlements.

CDT's brief emphasizes that #Section230 should not block #ProductLiability claims when those claims do not require ICSs to moderate or control user content. This distinction is key to maintaining both free expression & accountability.
