Rimon Partner Mark Lee Quoted in Bloomberg Law on Deepfakes and Platform Liability

Mark Lee, partner at Rimon, was recently quoted in a Bloomberg Law article examining how online platforms like YouTube are navigating the growing challenges posed by AI-generated deepfakes and evolving platform liability laws.
