The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Meta and TikTok’s appeal, leaving in place a lower ruling requiring them to face more than 3,000 federal lawsuits. The court also denied Meta’s request to postpone a trial brought by 29 state attorneys general alleging illegal collection and use of children’s data, addictive design targeting youth, and consumer deception. Earlier California cases included jury findings and a $375 million award.

ABOUT

What is Fimmer?

Most feeds treat all company headlines the same. An executive interview, an office closure, stock analysis, and a data breach can sit side by side with no sense of scale. Fimmer ranks coverage by what matters, so important events stand out and signals are prioritised over noise. We cluster related company news and score each story using a range of metrics, so you see the most crucial stories first.

SCORING

What do the scores mean?

Significance (0–10) measures the scale of the real-world impact. Sentiment and ESG (−10 to +10) indicate the tone of the coverage and whether the change relates to environmental, social, or governance factors. Together, these scores help distinguish meaningful developments from routine company news. More information about our scoring methodology can be found on our About page.
