Meta, Google under attack as court cases bypass 30-year-old legal shield (cnbc.com) AI

CNBC reports that plaintiffs are pursuing narrower theories aimed at bypassing the law—often by focusing on how products are designed and how AI-generated summaries or recommendations are presented to users. The article notes that while penalties so far are limited, the cases could shape future litigation as the industry shifts from traditional social media and search toward AI-driven experiences, with possible appeals up to the Supreme Court.
