Meta’s $18 billion settlement raises pressure on TikTok and YouTube

CNBC reports Meta is arguing competitors should follow comparable rules on protecting children online after the settlement.

Meta’s large settlement is putting additional scrutiny on other major platforms, including TikTok and YouTube, amid expectations that online services face similar rules for child safety, according to CNBC.

CNBC World notes that Meta is seeking to ensure its competitors protect children online under comparable standards, and one business professor said the case could broaden the pressure on other companies.

The settlement has sparked broader discussion about which platforms may be next as regulators and businesses assess how competitors handle child safety obligations online, CNBC reports.
