Description

A California jury awarded $6M in damages against Meta and Alphabet, finding their platforms were designed to be addictive and posed known risks to minors. Analyst Gary Black compared the verdict to tobacco litigation and said it may be overturned on appeal, while both stocks have underperformed the S&P 500 this year.
