Social media liability: ‘influencing’ the risk landscape 2025

In this IIL claims webinar, Rose Amin talks about the risk and litigation landscape surrounding social media liability and whether liability can be established under a general liability policy for public nuisance.

This session covers:

• The litigation landscape around social media liability, including in the US
• In a general liability context, does the harm alleged to arise from social media give rise to damage “because of” bodily injury or personal and advertising injury?
• Can liability be established under a general liability policy for claims in public nuisance?
• In addition to litigation risk, social media liability can also give rise to issues in relation to data privacy compliance, regulatory fines and penalties
• What parallels can be drawn: are social media platforms mirroring tactics used by the tobacco and gambling industries?
• Will AI heighten these risks?

Learning objectives

• An understanding of the general liability exposure arising from social media risks and how far it can go
• An understanding of the framework around the governance of social media platforms and how data protection regulatory standards impact this developing risk
• An understanding of the impact of AI on those issues
