Snap settled. TikTok settled. Jury selection resumes.

The social media addiction trial everyone has been talking about is officially underway and opening arguments could begin within days.

In this week’s episode of Tort Talk, Jon, Marc, and mass tort attorney Joe Fantini break down what’s happening in real time and what it could mean for Big Tech litigation going forward.

We also cover:

• The formation of the Roblox MDL and what the next 3–6 months will look like
• Why Lyft sexual assault appears headed toward consolidation alongside Uber
• The Cartiva toe implant litigation and whether a smaller docket can still justify an MDL
• Why Missouri courts refused to pause Roundup cases ahead of the Supreme Court appeal

With new MDLs forming, major settlements unfolding, and trial calendars moving, pressure is building across multiple fronts.
