For a change of pace, let’s check in on the tech regulation wars. While the courts generally side with social media companies due to protections of the CDA Section 320, a U.S. District Court judge ruled this week that a coalition of families, teens, school districts and state attorneys general could continue a lawsuit alleging harm to teens by major social media platforms. It’s an interesting crack in the Section 320 armor.

Cisco offers many familiar findings, including the limits imposed by poor data and a gap between marketers’ interest in AI and actual deployment.

Extendeal is a digital platform healthcare company that helps pharmacies compare drug prices from different suppliers and get the best deals. This new funding is part of their broader plan to expand services in Colombia and Mexico.

Amperity has launched Lakehouse CDP, which delivers CDP functions within “lakehouse” data stores including Snowflake and Databricks. Amperity tools for data modeling, data quality, identity resolution, generative AI, segmentation, and performance measurement will send all results to a company’s own lakehouse rather than a separate Amperity-managed database. Modules can be used independently but the real benefit here is that Amperity is one of the few “composable” CDP vendors who offer a complete set of pre-integrated CDP functions.
