Explained in plain English

Can states sue tech companies?

Yes, US states can sue companies for breaking consumer protection laws, especially if they mislead the public about product safety. This allows states to act on behalf of their residents to ensure companies are transparent and responsible, as seen in the OpenAI lawsuit where eight states claim harm to children.
