Less than 1: PM Edition, May 27

This evening on Less than 1: more than two dozen states press claims that Meta, TikTok, Snap and YouTube designed their platforms to fuel adolescent addiction, with an Oakland trial set for this summer -- plus a federal judge finds Meta's ad-auction agreements ambiguous enough to let a breach-of-contract suit proceed, and retired appellate Justice Halim Dhanidina is named dean of Western State College of Law. Also: Matthew Perry's former live-in assistant is sentenced to more than three years in prison for administering the fatal ketamine dose, and the Los Angeles City Council delays a minimum wage increase for tourism workers that had been tied to the 2028 Olympics.
