Senior Associate Casey Waughn discussed the impact that recent verdicts against Meta and Google may have for other tech companies in the design of their products: "She said that, in the wake of the verdicts, companies should consider that they may face risk over how their products are designed to handle all kinds of data—not just children’s, and not just on social media—and move toward 'privacy by design.' That will mean 'involving all internal stakeholders at all phases of the process,' including engineering, she said.”
