[TRIAL IS OFF] The Heat is On...Big Tech on Trial
Notes de l’épisode
Snap settled. And with that, all four defendants have now settled the cases brought by Shawna and Kadence before trial.
In this mini-episode of The Heat is On…Big Tech on Trial, we break down what happened, what these settlements mean, and what comes next. Why are these companies so determined to avoid putting their internal documents, decisions, and conduct in front of a jury? And what does the public lose when cases end before that evidence can be fully examined in court?
The settlement amount was not disclosed, but one thing is clear: They dodged the trial. Not the truth.
Because the story doesn't end here. Thousands of families are still fighting, with more than 3,000 cases behind these first two. And much of the evidence is already public. It's buried in court filings and documents that are difficult to navigate, but they deserve to be seen and understood.
We're making it our mission to break down those documents, connect the dots, and show parents what these companies knew, what decisions they made, and what it means for our kids. Because families deserve to know. And the public deserves answers.
The companies may be shutting down opportunities for accountability in court and through legislation, but children are still being harmed. We can't afford to sit back and wait.
The trial may be over. The fight is not.
The next trial, involving all four companies, is scheduled for March 16, 2027. Until then, we're digging deeper, asking harder questions, and keeping the pressure on.
The Heat is STILL on. Big Tech is STILL on trial.
