On Wednesday, a Los Angeles jury found that Meta and Google are liable for designing products that are deliberately addictive and failing to warn users about the nature of their products. This is huge news, a landmark verdict that will inform hundreds of cases to come.

Students are empowered to control aspects of their learning—such as pace, timing, and setting—within a structured educational framework. For example, adaptive technologies employed in the online component can provide instant feedback […]
