Let's talk tech.
The third United States Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that TikTok could potentially be
liable for recommending a blackout challenge video to a girl who died, raising questions
about Section 230, a law granting social media companies legal immunity.
The Philadelphia-based court revived a lawsuit against TikTok over the death of 10-year-old
Nailai Anderson, stating TikTok could be responsible due to its editorial judgment.
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act offers broad protections to tech companies,
but politicians argue it gives them too much power.
The Anderson family hopes this ruling will prevent future tragedies.

Despite this pivot, Watts emphasizes that Wolves was created for the big screen, showcasing
his expertise from revitalizing the Spider-Man series.
The film follows two fixers, played by Clooney and Pitt, tackling a fallout from a hookup
Gone Wrong and features stand-up performances from Amy Ryan and Austin Abrams.
