Big Tech Lawsuits from 2020
Does anyone know if there is a website keeping an eye on a number of lawsuits against Big Tech? I've been able to document up to 8 lawsuits having been files between October 20th and December 17th. The defendants in these lawsuits include the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, and anywhere from 11 up to 48 Attorney Generals from various states. Will the lawsuits from the DOJ and the FTC continue into the new administration? Considering the Hunter Biden probe on his taxes will continue regardless, I assume these other ones will as well. However, it would be nice if there was a way to find out.
Obviously, there's the question if they can win against Section 230, which is federal. However, considering the fact that most of these lawsuits are a coalition of multiple states, that would make it a federal issue.
