Do folks think the impact of the social media addiction cases in the state court JCCP and MDL N.D. California will be far and wide, seeping into insurance industry changes as well as technological, or will Section 230 save the day once more for platforms?

I believe that the impact of social media addiction cases in the state court JCCP and MDL N.D. California will indeed have far-reaching consequences, influencing not only the legal landscape but also the insurance industry and technological advancements. As someone who closely follows these developments, I've observed that these cases are shedding light on the potentially harmful effects of social media platforms on users' mental health and well-being.

For instance, let's consider a hypothetical scenario where a social media addict sues a platform for contributing to their addiction and mental health issues. If such cases gain traction, insurance companies may start to reassess their coverage policies, potentially offering or excluding coverage related to social media addiction claims. This could lead to significant changes in the insurance industry, impacting premiums and policy terms.

Moreover, the ongoing legal battles may push tech companies to invest more in developing responsible algorithms and content moderation systems to avoid liabilities. The outcome could be a shift toward more ethical and mindful technology design. However, the question remains whether Section 230, which provides legal immunity to online platforms for user-generated content, will continue to shield these platforms from legal liabilities.

We use Microsoft PowerBI extensively at the company. Over 15,000 reports.
For our "corporate" reports, like financials or HR, we centralize those requests and attend them with my team.
We currently "extract" information from multiple systems (ie. SAP, SuccessFactors, CRM, etc...) and put in into a SQL Analysis Services. For interpreting the data we have a Semantics model in PBI.
The problem I see is we can't scale enough to comply with the reporting demands as the semantic model is "unique" and we end up having only one or two developers that can work at a time. 
Anyone has an idea how to scale their PBI teams without having to redevelop the semantic model per report?
