Meta is settling for up to $16.68 billion over claims it built Facebook and Instagram to be addictive for teens — not as a side effect, but by design. This isn't a fine for a mistake. It's a bill for a business model. For years, "engagement" was the north star metric in tech. Growth at any cost. More time-on-app = more revenue.

"Meta has denied any wrongdoing as part of the settlement."

They don't fear fines. They fear competition.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, will pay $17 billion to settle a lawsuit brought by 29 state attorneys general over the mental health risks posed to children by its social media platforms. Court filings on Wednesday detail changes Meta must implement to safeguard its platform for the use of minors.

🇪🇺 Comisia Europeană își schimbă strategia de aplicare a regulilor pentru Giganții Tech pe măsură ce prima serie de cazuri se încheie!Reglementatorii de la Bruxelles trec la o nouă etapă în implementarea legislației privind piețele și serviciile digitale (Digital Markets Act - DMA și Digital Services Act - DSA). După încheierea primului val de investigații și aplicarea primelor sancțiuni, Comisia Europeană își ajustează abordarea strategică pentru a asigura conformitatea pe termen lung.✨ Punctele cheie ale schimbării de strategie de la Bruxelles:🏁 Închiderea primului val de investigații:• După desemnarea marilor companii tehnologice (Apple, Meta, Alphabet/Google, Amazon, Microsoft, ByteDance/TikTok) ca fiind „gatekeepers” (păstrători de poartă), executivul european a finalizat anchetele inițiale privind practici precum self-preferencing-ul (favorizarea propriilor servicii), restricțiile din App Store și consimțământul pentru colectarea datelor. ⚙️ Mutația de la investigare la monitorizare și conformare activă:• În loc să deschidă procese interminabile, Bruxelles-ul pune acum accent pe un dialog de reglementare continuu, obligând companiile să își modifice activ arhitectura produselor (de la ecranul de selecție al browserelor până la opțiunile de interoperabilitate ale aplicațiilor de mesagerie).🔍 Extinderea către noi domenii (AI și Cloud Services):• În timp ce primele cazuri au vizat aplicațiile consumatorilor de masă și motoarele de căutare, atenția Comisiei se îndreaptă acum către piețele emergente de Inteligență Artificială generativă și Servicii de Cloud (precum AWS sau Azure) pentru a preveni comportamentele anticompetitive înainte ca acestea să devină structurale. ⚖️ Sancțiuni mai severe în caz de neconformare recidivantă:• Regulile DMA prevăd amenzi de până la 10% din cifra de afaceri globală anuală (și până la 20% în caz de abateri repetate). Bruxelles-ul semnalează că nu va ezita să aplice amenzile maxime sau chiar măsuri structurale (cum ar fi obligativitatea vânzării unor active) dacă marile firme încearcă să ocolească prevederile legale prin soluții cosmetice. O etapă decisivă prin care Uniunea Europeană își dorește să transforme cadrul legislativ pe hârtie într-un ecosistem digital echitabil și competitiv în practică! 🚀#BigTech #DMA #DSA #EuropeanUnion #Brussels #DigitalMarketsAct #TechRegulation #Politico #TechNews
