🏛️ Tort floodgates open on social media

The LA and New Mexico verdicts drew a map around Section 230 via product-liability law — trial lawyers now have a repeatable path against platforms with enormous cash flows, producing a death-by-a-thousand-cuts liability drag on Meta (and Google as co-defendant).

IS THIS A TRADE? 🚫 Not a trade — conviction 14.6 is DORMANT, below WATCH (45) and far from the GREEN entry bar (65). If more weighted voices pile on, it climbs; two mentions isn't conviction. direction semantics: bearish = the plays below are expected to FALL if the thesis is right → expression is short / puts.
