Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: For three things we need to know. There was a
- 0:02Speaker 1: huge legal case yesterday that came to an end, and
- 0:06Speaker 1: it was not good for Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. A
- 0:09Speaker 1: jury found them responsible and liable to social media addiction
- 0:14Speaker 1: and youth. So the case basically centered around a now
- 0:17Speaker 1: twenty year old woman who argued their design that the design,
- 0:20Speaker 1: including features meant to keep users scrolling, actually contributed to
- 0:24Speaker 1: depression and other mental health struggles that began when she
- 0:27Speaker 1: was a kid, and jurors agreed that the companies were negligent,
- 0:30Speaker 1: they didn't warn people about this enough, they didn't give
- 0:33Speaker 1: people the heads out that this could happen, and actually
- 0:35Speaker 1: ordered them to pay about six million dollars in total damages.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Both companies say they actually plan to appeal and argue
- 0:43Speaker 1: that youth mental health problems can't be blamed on a
- 0:45Speaker 1: single app. But what this means for us is you
- 0:49Speaker 1: could start seeing some major real changes to your social
- 0:53Speaker 1: media apps, like stricter features, warnings, maybe even time limits.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Because this opens the door for a ton of similar
- 1:00Speaker 1: lawsuits and apparently there's at least sixteen hundred other ones
- 1:03Speaker 1: waiting in the wings to sue Meta and Google. TSA says, yeah,
- 1:10Speaker 1: this doesn't look like the mess with traveling is going
- 1:13Speaker 1: to end anytime soon. In fact, they say air travel
- 1:16Speaker 1: could get even more chaotic. The head of the TSA
- 1:19Speaker 1: says some airports may actually have to shut down if
- 1:23Speaker 1: the government funding fight keeps dragging on. TSA workers haven't
- 1:27Speaker 1: been paid in over a month and a lot of
- 1:29Speaker 1: them are calling out, which means longer lines, major delays,
- 1:33Speaker 1: which is already happening. We've seen it all over the
- 1:34Speaker 1: news and whatnot. Smaller airports would likely be the first
- 1:37Speaker 1: ones to close, and even the bigger airports, some experts
- 1:40Speaker 1: are recommending you get there four hours early, which is
- 1:43Speaker 1: what my husband does. Anyways, the NBA, I don't know
- 1:47Speaker 1: if I know you guys are big basketball fans. So
- 1:49Speaker 1: have you guys ever heard of tanking? So tanking is
- 1:51Speaker 1: the term that people use when a basketball team basically
- 1:55Speaker 1: loses on purpose so that they get better draft picks
- 1:57Speaker 1: and whatnot. And the NBA is like, we're done with this.
- 2:01Speaker 1: The commissioner said, the league is planning on making big
- 2:04Speaker 1: changes to the draft system so that does not happen.
- 2:07Speaker 1: They've been actually like researching it for months. They don't
- 2:10Speaker 1: have an exact plan yet. But they have made it
- 2:13Speaker 1: clear we're fixing this. We want we want fans to
- 2:16Speaker 1: see games. It actually means something, right, We don't. We
- 2:19Speaker 1: don't want fans to feel like teams are just throwing
- 2:21Speaker 1: seasons for no reason. They are on it, and hopefully
- 2:24Speaker 1: by the next draft they will have these changes already made.
- 2:27Speaker 1: And that's three things you need to know.
