The Heat is On...Big Tech on Trial: The Evidence (with attorney Previn Warren)

The courtroom battles are still unfolding, and the evidence continues to grow.

In this episode of The Heat is On: Big Tech on Trial, Nicki Petrossi and Sarah Gardner chat with attorney Previn Warren, co-lead counsel on thousands of federal lawsuits brought against TikTok, YouTube, Meta, and Snap. They discuss the landmark case brought by Kayley (KGM), who won her lawsuit after evidence showed that Meta and YouTube contributed significantly to her anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, as well as the recent settlement in the Brethitt County Schools case just days before trial.

As more families, school districts, and states take social media companies to court, one thing has become clear: the evidence uncovered through these lawsuits is too important to stay buried in court filings. Previn joins the show to make a major announcement about a new effort to organize and make this evidence more accessible to the public.

What did these companies know about the harms their products could cause?

What have years of litigation revealed?

And how can parents, educators, journalists, and policymakers learn from the growing body of evidence?

The trials are continuing, the stakes couldn't be higher, and the evidence is finally coming into view.
