Former Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter on Meta's federal trial over child safety
The federal trial over Meta's child safety practices began Tuesday with opening arguments in California. Former Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter stated that the remedies sought, including product changes and the deletion of data acquired from children, could be profound for Meta and future cases involving AI models. He noted that while monetary damages can be substantial, the potential product and data-related remedies are particularly significant.
This trial could set precedents for how social media companies are held accountable for child safety and data acquisition, potentially impacting the development and regulation of future AI technologies.
