Meta Platforms defeats shareholder lawsuit over child safety claims
Meta Platforms and Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg won the dismissal of a lawsuit claiming they misled shareholders in Meta's proxy statement about their ability to ensure the safety of children who use Facebook and Instagram. In a decision on Tuesday, US District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco said the plaintiff Matt Eisner failed to show that shareholders suffered economic losses from Meta's alleged inadequate disclosures. He also said federal securities law did not require Meta to detail the severity of sexually explicit content and sexual exploitation of children on its platforms, or all the child protection strategies it decided not to adopt.

According to The U.S. Sun, Luke has heavily criticized US Vice President Kamala Harris while claiming that she does not love US at all and expressed severe concerns regarding the immigration issue asserting that illegal immigrants would end up destroying the country. On the other hand, former US President Donald Trump has been leveraging the political landscape of California to criticize Kamala Harris while he labelled her as a San Francisco Liberal.

Google granted request to pause order on Play store overhaul
Google's request to temporarily pause his order directing the Alphabet unit to overhaul its Android app store Play by Nov. 1 to give consumers more choice over how they download software. San Francisco-based US District Judge James Donato made the decision on Friday as part of an antitrust lawsuit against Google brought by «Fortnite» maker Epic Games. Google argued that Donato's October 7 injunction would harm the company and introduce «serious safety, security and privacy risks into the Android ecosystem.» Donato delayed the injunction to allow the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to consider Google's separate request to pause the judge's order.
