A federal appeals court is making the internet safer for shitposting. The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a ban on Texas's social media law. Facebook is probably a buy right now because it's trading in a PE of kind of an old economy company, old economy media company.
Kara and Scott discuss the impacts of a Texas social media law, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s bill to protect children’s data. Also, Adobe acquired Figma. Plus, a mega stock crash at Meta, a bizarre harassment case for eBay, and Russian troll’s impact on the Women’s March. Friend of Pivot, Marta Tellado, stops by to talk about her new book, “Buyer Aware: Harnessing Our Consumer Power for a Safe, Fair, and Transparent Marketplace.”
