Benjamin Gideon & Rahul Ravipudi

Suing Big Tech and Fighting ICE: Trial Law as Social Change, with Ben & Rahul

SEP 14, 202650 MIN

Description

How do you force a trillion-dollar company to do the right thing? Rahul Ravipudi's answer runs on cold economics: big companies won't behave until it's more expensive not to. That's the pressure trial lawyers are putting on Meta, TikTok, Snap, and YouTube in the litigation over kids' mental health. In this wide-ranging conversation, hosts Ben Gideon and Rahul trade notes on cases that sit far outside most trial lawyers' wheelhouses. Ben shares about his civil rights fight against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Maine, including the killing of a young man who was never the operation's target. Together, they explore how impact litigation forces accountability—and why the hardest cases make you a sharper advocate for every client.
