Andrew Lieb / Lauren Lieb

The Lieb Cast examines the pending SCOTUS cases that could reshape how social media platforms moderate content, as well as New York's new legislation targeting addictive algorithms. They question who truly benefits from such laws - children, as promised, or those with political interests? And should government even be involved at all? As they explore what research actually proves social media harms society, and whether laws are being passed more to win popular votes than protect the people they affect most. An insightful discussion of the complex trade-offs around tech policy and civil liberties.
