Yes, 'The Algorithm' REALLY IS Like That

"Everyone already knows that coffee is hot" was the actual tactic used by McDonalds to challenge a lawsuit... a legitimate injury lawsuit, by an elderly woman who endured a terrible burn and multiple skin grafts. I wouldn't be surprised to see these companies trod out something similar if legal action is ever taken on this.

However, that argument didn’t stick in that case, and the plaintiff received significant compensation. Class actions against social media companies followed by legislation in the majority of nations where they’re profitable may be the way we have to go, and if that makes running a social media company unprofitable, well, I’m all for it.

Are you implying because things are illegal and still happen, there's no point to making anything illegal..?

It sounds to me as if they're specifically disagreeing with the assertion that, "Most of the problems go away then".
