Are we living through a digital opioid crisis? This week, Colm and Justin discuss the massive legal battle against Meta (Facebook/Instagram). Evidence suggests Big Tech knew their algorithms were harming children’s mental health but chose profit over safety—drawing direct parallels to the tobacco and opioid scandals.
