Zubiqo Strategic Assessment

Primary Impact

Meta, Snap, and Google's litigation costs and potential settlement liabilities are set to explode as thousands of consolidated state and federal lawsuits proceed to discovery.

Strategic Shift

The erosion of Section 230 as an impenetrable pretrial shield forces social media platforms to defend product design and algorithm choices in front of juries.

The Ripple Effect

Social media companies will preemptively alter their algorithmic feeds for minors and introduce aggressive age-gating mechanisms to cap ongoing liability.
