Social media was humanity’s ‘first contact’ moment with AI. If we’re going to create laws that are strong enough to prevent AI from destroying our societies, we could benefit from taking a look at the major lawsuits against social media platforms that are playing out in our courts right now.

In our last episode, we took a close look at Big Food and its dangerous “race to the bottom” that parallels AI. We continue that theme this week with an episode about litigating social media and the consequences of the race to engagement in order to inform how we can approach AI harms. 

Our guest, attorney Laura Marquez-Garrett, left her predominantly defense-oriented practice to join the Social Media Victims Law Center in February 2022. Laura is literally on the front lines of the battle to hold social media firms accountable for the harms they have created in young people’s lives for the past decade. 

Listener warning: there are distressing and potentially triggering details within the episode.

Correction: Tristan refers to the Social Media Victims Law Center as a nonprofit legal center. They are a for-profit law firm.

After my day-trip, yes, day-trip to Australia last year, I flew out to Cleveland for an event and during my time there sat down with Josh Felber for the 'Making Bank' video series. This was during my book promotion period so the discussion is heavy around #AskGaryVee but nonetheless it's a fire interview. In this discussion we talk about my love for Q&A sessions, being a natural-born motivator, and what I want my final narrative to look like.

#QOTD: What should the subtitle be for the #AskGaryVee book?
