I am sorry I missed a weekly update, real life got in the way. 😅 Here’s a roundup of the major developments from 11-24 Oct 2025. 1. Lawsuit vs Meta & Snap Inc. by New Mexico AG Raúl Torrez, Attorney General of New Mexico, is suing Meta and Snap, alleging their platforms have become hubs for child sexual exploitation and predatory behaviour. The complaint points to algorithms, ignored internal warnings, and negligence in design. 🔗TIME 2. Lawsuits vs AI Chatbots and Teen Mental Health Families are suing AI-chatbot companies including OpenAI and Character.AI for alleged contributions to teen suicides and emotional harm. The complaints claim chatbots acted as confidants, failed to escalate crisis situations, and may have facilitated self‐harm. 🔗NBC4Washington 🔗healthlawadvisor.com 🔗TheGuardian 3. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ramps up scrutiny of AI chatbots and children/teens U.S. Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff publicly urged the FTC to address risks of AI companions for minors. The agency has sent letters/subpoenas and inquiries about how firms measure, test, and protect youth from harm in AI chatbot contexts. 🔗Senator Alex Padilla 🔗Hunton.com

This is such a common question, peer pressure is huge, right? Watch this video. The answer is only "yes" when your child understands the risks and how to deal with everything that is depicted here.

Happy Saturday everyone! Here are the key stories from this week: 🔍 Highlights 1.
