As technology reshapes the world and how companies operate, regulators and courts are often left applying decades-old legal frameworks to new platforms and tools. The result is fresh legal questions — and liability — emerging almost daily, from antitrust enforcement against major technology companies to the compliance risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI).
Yetter Coleman LLP partner Tyler Young recently shared insights on those evolving issues in two national legal publications, offering his perspective on both the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) antitrust case against Meta Platforms Inc. and the legal implications of AI-powered meeting technology
In a Law360 article, “FTC Must ‘Scale A Slick Wall’ To Revive Meta Suit,” Young discussed the FTC’s appeal of a federal court decision dismissing its monopolization case against Meta. He emphasized the steep uphill battle the government faces in applying traditional competition analysis to fast-moving technology markets. “The FTC is continuing to fight yesterday’s battles in today’s world,” Young said.
Young also co-authored a Bloomberg Law article with Shayna Goldblatt Proler titled “Notable Gaps Between the Law and AI Notetaking Creates Several Risks,” which examines how AI-powered meeting transcription and notetaking tools may create exposure under wiretapping statutes, discovery obligations and attorney ethics rules. The article outlines practical safeguards for companies, including obtaining participant consent, providing clear disclosures and carefully structuring vendor agreements to reduce compliance and litigation risks.
Young focuses his practice on complex civil litigation with an emphasis on antitrust matters, representing clients nationwide across industries including energy, transportation, financial services, technology, and manufacturing. His work involved allegations of monopolization, tying, and price-fixing. He regularly represents defendants in investigations and litigation brought by the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and the FTC.
