Abstract
Social media companies are increasingly being called to account for how their apps are affecting young people. Robert Kim explores In re: Social Media Addiction, a lawsuit that combines multiple cases that have been brought against social media companies for their addictive effects. The cases illustrate the tension between product liability and free speech laws. To what extent can companies be held liable for consequences resulting from speech on their platforms? And what aspects of the products’ design fall under speech laws and what aspects fall under product liability laws?
越来越多的人要求社交媒体公司对其应用程序如何影响年轻人负责。罗伯特-金(Robert Kim)探讨了 "关于:社交媒体成瘾"(In re: Social Media Addiction)一案。这些案件说明了产品责任法和言论自由法之间的矛盾。公司可以在多大程度上为其平台上的言论所造成的后果承担责任?产品设计的哪些方面属于言论法的范畴,哪些方面属于产品责任法的范畴?
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
