Meta just agreed to a massive $17 to $18 billion settlement over child safety and addictive platform design, but is it enough to spark real change?
In this episode, Lauren Schnipper and Joshua Cohen dive deep into the dangers of deepfakes, AI slop, and the disturbing rise of targeted online extortion against minors. They break down Meta's settlement terms, including controversial contingencies that pressure TikTok and YouTube to follow suit.
Later, Portal A co-founder Zach Blume joins the show to discuss how brands like Toyota and Lexus are acting like premium entertainment studios on YouTube. Finally, they wrap up with YouTube’s new expansion into 24/7 creator "stations".
