Edelson PC filed 30 complaints in the Northern District of California against OpenAI and Samuel Altman, including A.C. v. Altman, No. 3:26-cv-09342 (N.D. Cal.), filed Sept. 2. The complaints allege ChatGPT assisted the Feb. 10 shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia and that in June 2025 company leaders overruled a recommendation to notify the RCMP. Rice Parsons Leoni & Elliott LLP appears as Canadian counsel on two of the complaints. The claims are untested. The cases are not an MDL. They are separate from the Florida State University ChatGPT suits covered Aug. 26 and Aug. 31. The week’s OpenAI total was 31.
Dutch Snap Suit Targets Addictive-Design Features
A Dutch consumer nonprofit issued a Sept. 7 summons against Snap Inc. in Amsterdam District Court, accusing Snapchat of using design features to drive compulsive use. The proposed collective action targets Streaks, Snapscore, disappearing content, autoplay and timed notifications, and seeks to require users to be able to disable specified features. It also demands stronger age verification, additional measures against illegal content and compensation for affected users. For Social Media Adolescent Addiction Personal Injury Products Liability (3047), the new action puts international litigation pressure on product-design features that remain central to the U.S. claims. The summons alleges misconduct rather than establishing liability, leaving Snap to answer the claims in the Dutch proceeding.
Australia Advances Algorithm Opt-Out Proposal
Australia’s government said on Sept. 7 that it would introduce a Digital Duty of Care proposal requiring social-media platforms to let users opt out of algorithmically recommended feeds. The contemplated measure would give users a nonpersonalized or chronological alternative, although the government had not released an exposure draft or finalized the technical requirements. That policy choice bears directly on Social Media Adolescent Addiction Personal Injury Products Liability (3047) because it focuses attention on whether platforms can offer users a meaningful nonalgorithmic setting. The proposal has not become law and imposes no operative compliance duty while Parliament considers the legislation. Its introduction nonetheless makes algorithmic-feed controls a live regulatory benchmark in the broader dispute over feasible youth-safety design changes.
