Liability of online narratives

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Liability of online narratives has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard (Nov 2026). Hosts discuss how online narratives and algorithms create divergent realities and can unjustly shape public perception about people's behavior (e.g., Dax's public narrative).

Product liability is the area of law in which manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and others who make products available to the public are held responsible for the injuries those products cause. Although the word "product" has broad connotations, product liability as an area of law is traditionally limited to products in the form of tangible personal property.
