For today’s Monday Minutes, Tom discusses Robinhood’s usage of Ice Cube’s image in their newsletter. Robinhood, infamous for the GameStop stock situation earlier this year, used Ice Cube’s image and a parody of his phrase “Check yourself before you wreck yourself” in their educational newsletter, “Snack.” The lawsuit states that Robinhood misappropriated his image and phrase, and Ice Cube does not want to be associated with the platform. Robinhood claims free speech rights and issued an Anti-Slap action. Listen to the episode to hear more about what Anti-Slap is and if Tom thinks the suit will go forward.
