The tobacco litigation story is usually told triumphantly, with a malicious industry that was held accountable, victims that were vindicated, and a dangerous product that is now regulated. What that story leaves out is directly relevant to what happens next with social media.The tobacco litigation succeeded not because cigarettes were addictive, but because the industry had committed fraud. For decades, tobacco companies knew about nicotine’s addictive properties and the link between smoking and cancer and they actively concealed that knowledge. The lawsuits that worked were the ones that went after the concealment directly. But once that concealment was exposed and…

Domino’s sales numbers didn’t deliver this quarter. The pizza chain’s stock dropped 10% Monday after reporting U.S. same-store sales rose just 0.9%, missing Wall Street’s 2.3% forecast. CEO Russell Weiner lowered the full-year U.S. same-store sales forecast to low-single digit growth, down from a prior projection of 3%. But he’s not panicking. Weiner told CNBC he expects other fast-food chains to report similar headwinds from winter weather and weak consumer sentiment, which tanked in March due to spiking fuel prices from the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Domino’s also faced stiffer competition from rival pizza chains. Papa John’s and Pizza Hut…

Frankel has a hypothesis, proven…
