Hey there. This is Catherine Ann at the Poorover.

And this is Joe at the pourover. Today we're talking about meta losing two landmark social media lawsuits, Iran rejecting President Trump's ceasefire proposal, the DHS shutdowns impact on TSA, and other top news for Friday, March 27th. Stay informed while

remaining focused on Christ with the pourover. Here's your quote of the day. Your goal is not to know

every detail of the future. Your goal is to hold the hand of the one who does and never, ever let go.

Let's get started with some espresso shots.

The verdicts are in, and it's costing meta $379 million.

In a landmark decision Tuesday, a New Mexico jury found META platforms guilty of failing to safeguard

users from child sexual exploitation, ordering the social media giant to fork over $375 million.

The lawsuit was brought by New Mexico Attorney General Torres, who accused META of putting, quote,

profits over kids' safety.

Two states over, a Los Angeles jury handed the win to a 20-year-old woman Wednesday,

who sued META and YouTube for designing addictive features, think Infinite Scroll,

leading to her anxiety and depression.

Meta's shouldering 70% of the burden, $4.2 million, and YouTube took the other 30%, 1.8 million.

Meta plans to appeal both, saying they're confident in their, quote, record of protecting teens online.

Thousands of similar cases await trial, some seeking damages in the tens of billions.

As courts discuss the effects of social media, it's a good moment for personal reflection on social media's effect on our lives, relationships, and heart habits.

Whatever tools or technology we adopt, our aim should be to use them wisely and in ways

that increase the fruit of the Spirit in us.

Walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh.
