As lawsuits involving AI, social media, privacy, competition, and platform accountability expand worldwide, courts are emerging as central actors shaping technology governance. A new tech litigation tracker developed by the Knight-Georgetown Institute, Tech Justice Law, and Georgetown University’s Communication, Culture & Technology program centralizes and tracks technology-related litigation and regulatory actions across jurisdictions and issue areas.
Courts are becoming a central arena for shaping how technology companies are governed. Across the United States and internationally, hundreds of lawsuits focus on technology companies – spanning issues from antitrust and AI copyright to consumer protection, privacy, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, and minor’s online safety. As these cases move through courts and regulatory bodies, they have the potential to shape how emerging technologies and digital platforms are governed, designed, and deployed.
The TRAL Tracker (Tech-Related Actions and Litigation Tracker) is a new centralized resource that brings together these tech-related lawsuits and regulatory enforcement actions across various jurisdictions. Developed by the Knight-Georgetown Institute, Tech Justice Law, and Georgetown University’s Communication, Culture & Technology program, the tracker is a routinely updated resource designed to monitor how courts and regulators are responding to emerging technology issues.

Primarily focused on US federal litigation, the tracker also includes selected state and international cases, providing a broader view of how courts and regulators are responding to legal claims related to technology companies. Organized by issue area and updated as cases develop, the tracker is designed to be an accessible, easy-to-use resource. Users can also suggest additional cases for inclusion.
Cases advancing through courts and regulatory processes will shape the future of technology companies and their products. The TRAL Tracker helps make these developments more visible and accessible as they unfold across jurisdictions.
Designing Technology Remedies: Lessons for Social Media and Generative AI Chatbot Litigation
As social media and generative AI chatbot lawsuits in the United States proceed to discovery and trial, courts are emerging as central actors in shaping technology governance, platform accountability, and online safety. A new report by the Knight-Georgetown Institute, Tech Justice Law, and the USC Marshall School Neely Center provides a practical, evidence-based framework to help courts, litigators, and policymakers craft effective and enforceable remedies for harms associated with social media platforms and AI chatbots.
In its first full year in operation, KGI made its mark across technology policy venues and outlets. Through expert-led, evidence-based work, KGI helped inform policy approaches to algorithmic feed design, researcher access to data, and competition enforcement in the search market – demonstrating how independent research can shape real-world decisions in the United States and Europe.
First Steps Toward Operationalizing Age Assurance Mandates: New York SAFE for Kids Act Proposed Rules
As governments around the world move to require age assurance online, attention is growing around whether and how these mechanisms can be implemented accurately and effectively. Recently proposed rules from the New York Office of the Attorney General represent the most significant effort to date by a US public authority to operationalize an age assurance mandate. KGI’s comments on the proposed rules recommend improvements to make them more technically sound and to better account for privacy and service availability.
