00:00The jury returned a verdict this morning. The verdict was a finding of liability on all counts
00:06against both Meta and YouTube. They found that Meta was negligent in the way they designed and
00:15operated their platform. They found that Meta failed to give what a reasonable company should
00:22give as warnings. And they found that Meta's failure to operate their platform in a reasonably
00:29prudent fashion. And to warn in a reasonably prudent fashion was a direct cause, substantial
00:36contributing factor to harming Kayleigh to the tune of $3 million, which is not a rounding
00:43error. YouTube's defenses that they were just TV were shunned by the jury. And the jury said
00:51that YouTube, Google failed to operate YouTube in a reasonable fashion. And it's their failure
00:59to operate it in a reasonable fashion that held YouTube accountable as well. The jury
01:06also said that YouTube failed to give reasonable warnings. So after the jury did that, and assessed
01:13the damages of $3 million, the jury then at that point answered the question of what percentage
01:20of responsibility is there on the two companies based upon the conduct as Kayleigh experienced
01:30it. And they put 70% on Meta. They put 30% on YouTube. Then they gave findings that both
01:39of them acted in ways that constitute conduct that should be punished.
