Lately: Underground Meta brokers, AI startups and the Labubu craze

Welcome back to Lately, The Globe's weekly tech newsletter. I'm Jacob Dubé from the audience team, covering for Samantha Edwards this week as she hikes through Newfoundland (hopefully, with little screen time). If you have any newsletter feedback or just want to say hello to a real-life human, send us an e-mail. 📵 The Meta employees charging to get your account back from hackers 👩🏼‍⚖️ Why experts say 'consent videos' won't hold up in court 🌞 How to reduce your kids' screen time this summer 👹 Inside the Labubu blind box craze For some, a social-media account isn't just for doom-scrolling and keeping up with friends. If you have a business, maintaining your online accounts can be the difference between staying afloat and going under. Bobby Monks, a dog walker from Toronto, said she didn't know where to turn after her growing Instagram account was hacked, and she received no customer service support from Meta. Not knowing what else to do, she took a friend's recommendation to reach out to a broker who, for a couple thousand dollars, could instruct an internal Meta employee to get her account back — right under the company's nose. Kathryn Blaze Baum and Alexandra Posadzki dive into the underground world of brokers and Meta employees who are profiting off hacking victims. Consent videos are playing a key role in the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial, after two videos were submitted as evidence, while one of the accused was grilled in court as to why they felt the need to record one in the first place. Consent videos are recordings usually taken before, during or after a sexual interaction as a means of documenting consent to pre-empt accusations. Under Canadian law, these videos don't hold up as proof of consent, which needs to be continuing and voluntary, and can be revoked at any time. The language around consent has become more mainstream — especially in the wake of #MeToo — but young men are still struggling to grasp how to initiate these conversations. To find support or validation, these young men are increasingly turning to YouTube, podcasts and dating-coach influencers for advice. Experts said these consent videos don't hold up in court, but that hasn't stopped some male-dominated corners of the internet to advocate for their continued use to protect themselves against any accusations, sometimes referring to them as 'rape insurance.' Samantha Edwards writes about how the manosphere is giving young men the wrong idea about consent. In an effort to stop the infamous tech 'brain drain' — home-grown Canadian talent leaving the country for greener pastures elsewhere — a group of University of Toronto professors and entrepreneurs are aiming to launch 50 AI companies in the next five years. U of T prof Daniel Wigdor says the new venture, Axl, wants to encourage more Canadian talent to stay on this side of the border. Joe Castaldo writes about why they say they're not worried if their startups get gobbled up by big American tech down the line. Meanwhile, as Chris Wilson-Smith writes, major employers around the world are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence to perform a share of work – eliminating some positions while raising the bar for new recruits. The spread of AI could mean fewer early-career jobs for new workers, while increasing work expectations for those who remain. The lucky ones who actually manage to land a job at some of these companies are immediately put in higher-responsibility positions. While that may seem like a good thing, experts say those workers lose out on the hands-on experience of starting lower on the corporate ladder. Summer vacation is almost upon us. And while kids are counting the days before school is out, parents are scrambling to keep them occupied for the next two months. But Katherine Martinko, author of the 2023 book Childhood Unplugged: Practical Advice to Get Kids Off Screens and Find Balance, says that parents have to work against the growing temptation of tech and a seemingly endless deluge of screentime.

You can't go a few blocks in Toronto without seeing a Labubu, a plush creature with cute bunny ears and a Gremlin-esque toothy grin, dangling from the keychain of a fashionista. Created by Chinese company Pop Mart, these Labubus have been selling like hotcakes, especially its series of collectible blind boxes. Shoppers are rushing to stores with any stock, and the creatures are selling for hundreds of dollars each on the secondary market. A piece in the New York Times suggests that the toy's popularity is a big win for China, who has been seeking to grow its cultural influence in the West. But only time will tell if the Labubu craze is here to stay, or if it'll go the way of the Funko Pop. The full-length trailer for Ari Aster's highly-anticipated film Eddington — in theatres July 18 — is finally out, and I'm sure that everybody is absolutely thrilled to return to the chaotic and uncertain world of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Whether it felt like last week, five years, or a decade ago, the trailer will evoke flashbacks of the tense dynamics that emerged from that era. The film pits Joaquin Phoenix's small-town sheriff against Pedro Pascal's faux-progressive mayor in a fight that goes from unhinged TikTok videos to brawls in the streets of a small New Mexico town.

New Purdue opioid crisis settlement builds ‘momentum' for Canada: B.C. AG

Recent settlements in U.S. government lawsuits against opioid manufacturer Purdue Pharma and the firm that allegedly consulted on boosting its sales have B.C.'s attorney general feeling 'heartened' as she pursues similar lawsuits in Canada. Monday saw 55 U.S. states and territories reach a US$7.5-billion settlement with Purdue, the maker of OxyContin, and members of the Sackler family that sought to hold them accountable for contributing to the opioid overdose crisis. As part of the settlement, the Sacklers will give up their control of the bankrupt company and will be barred from selling prescription opioids in the future. A federal judge said Wednesday that he will rule Friday on a plan for local governments and individual victims, who would also be entitled to compensation, to vote on approving the settlement by September, allowing it to proceed. Story continues below advertisement The announcement of the U.S. settlement came after the B.C. Supreme Court on Friday certified a class-action lawsuit by the province against McKinsey & Company, which is accused of advising Purdue and other drugmakers on how to market their opioid products in Canada. McKinsey has already had to pay over US$1 billion in penalties to settle similar lawsuits in the U.S., which also led to jail time for a McKinsey executive. 'I'm really pleased with the momentum,' B.C. Attorney General Niki Sharma told Global News in an interview. 'My job as attorney general is to make sure we pursue it very aggressively and as quickly as we can, so I am heartened by the success in the States and will keep on leading the charge here in Canada.' The B.C. lawsuit against McKinsey is separate from a larger class action against dozens of opioid manufacturers and distributors on allegations they downplayed the risk their products posed in order to rake in profits. That lawsuit was allowed to go ahead last fall and was certified in January. 2:00 Supreme Court upholds B.C. opioid lawsuit B.C. is leading both lawsuits on behalf of the other Canadian provinces and territories and the federal government, with the goal of recovering health-care costs that went toward responding to the overdose crisis, Sharma said. Story continues below advertisement 'We think it's unfair that companies that profited so much, knowing that their product was so harmful and that would cause this level of addiction, aren't paying for the costs of health care,' she said. A spokesperson for McKinsey told Global News it intends to defend itself against the lawsuit, which the company says is without merit. 'McKinsey did not undertake any work in Canada to enhance the sale or marketing of opioids,' the spokesperson said in an email. Alleged tactics to 'turbocharge' opioid sales B.C.'s lawsuit against McKinsey alleges the Canadian subsidiaries of Purdue, as well as Johnson & Johnson, Janssen and other drugmakers, employed many of the same tactics used by U.S. parent companies to boost their sales.

Supreme Court, in certifying the lawsuit, noted in its decision that multinational companies often apply business and marketing strategies 'universally.' Story continues below advertisement Last December, McKinsey agreed to pay U$650 million to resolve a U.S. Justice Department lawsuit that focused on the firm's work with Purdue, including allegations that McKinsey advised on steps to 'turbocharge' sales of OxyContin. Martin Elling, a former McKinsey senior partner who worked on Purdue matters, was sentenced to six months in prison after pleading guilty to obstruction of justice related to that case. 2:42 Conservatives grill Trudeau on former McKinsey head connection ahead of committee appearance The federal settlement was on top of a combined US$641 million McKinsey agreed to pay in 2021 to resolve similar claims brought by U.S. state attorneys general. In total, federal and state lawsuits related to the opioid crisis have resulted in roughly US$50 billion in settlements, according to researchers from Johns Hopkins University who track such claims. Long-term heavy use of prescription painkillers like OxyContin due to dependence contributed to a majority of opioid-related hospitalizations and overdoses in the early 2000s across North America. In recent years, illicit opioids like fentanyl have overtaken prescription opioids as the primary driver of the opioid crisis. Story continues below advertisement Between 2016 and last September, nearly 51,000 Canadians have died of an opioid-related overdose, according to federal data. B.C., which declared a public health emergency in 2016, saw the most fatal overdoses of any other province during that time, with more than 16,000 deaths. 'I think like many provinces across this country, we've really seen the toll of the opioid crisis on people not only with long-lasting addictions and impacts there, but loss of life and a lot of people that are mourning the loss of their loved ones,' Sharma said. A spokesperson for Health Canada said the federal government 'believes companies should be held accountable for their role in the overdose crisis' and will continue to work with provinces and territories on B.C.'s legal actions. 'The overdose crisis continues to be one of Canada's most pressing public health challenges,' the spokesperson said in an email to Global News. Health Canada is reviewing and 'considering' developments from the recent Purdue settlement in the U.S., the statement added. Where should the money go? In 2022, B.C. secured a $150-million settlement on behalf of Canadian governments in a class action against Purdue. The settlement was finalized in early 2023, allowing individuals to submit claims from a $20-million portion set aside for victims and their families, a process that remains ongoing. Story continues below advertisement The pending lawsuit against opioid manufacturers and distributors names Purdue and its various subsidiaries, as well as Johnson & Johnson, Janssen and Canadian companies like Loblaw and its subsidiary Shoppers Drug Mart. It remains in litigation. 5:09 B.C. government steps up legal action against opioid drug makers Researchers writing in the International Journal of Drug Policy earlier this year urged Canadian governments to ensure funds recovered from opioid lawsuit settlements go directly toward combating the drug crisis, rather than unrelated government expenses. Those measures should include funding harm reduction services like overdose prevention centres and safe drug supplies, as well as community organizations that work directly with people suffering from addiction, the paper says. Efforts to track how U.S. state and local governments are spending their opioid settlement money have uncovered several examples of funds not being used to directly respond to the opioid crisis. Story continues below advertisement Canada is being urged to avoid similar 'pitfalls' by mandating that at least 85 per cent of recovered funds be allocated to 'opioid remediation efforts,' and working directly with community organizations and members affected by addiction. Proposed guidelines by researchers at Johns Hopkins University for how U.S. opioid settlement funds should be spent have been adopted in over 25 states, according to the university. Sharma said B.C.'s lawsuits are structured so that any funds recovered by the province will be mandated to go to the health-care system, but that could evolve depending on how settlements are structured. 'It may be that as this develops, and the opioid cases develop, it will be tied to organizations that do addictions treatment, or there could be a whole range of things that go directly towards this crisis,' she said. She pointed to the record $32.5-billion settlement B.C. won in March on behalf of Canadian governments in its lawsuit against the tobacco industry as a model both of the province's health-related legal advocacy and the results it can achieve. 'We are really focused on eliminating the bad actors,' she said. 'It's really important to make sure that we set a line in the sand about what's right and what isn't right with the conduct of all companies out there.'
