Comment on Meta Paid $17B – Gets to Write Safety Rules for Other SocMedia Platformparent

An impressive amount of gall. Meta will only pay the full settlement if their competitors ALSO pay a fine. From the article:

The remaining 30% (approximately $5.3 billion) will be released only after two specific conditions are met.

YouTube and TikTok implement a one-hour Daily Limit, Night Mode, and age assurance measures. YouTube and TikTok each pay an amount matching the 30% figure, with half of the remaining funds tied to YouTube's payment and half tied to TikTok's.
