The US settlement with Meta provides a crucial model for India's social media regulation concerning children. This deal, involving an $18 billion payment and new restrictions like daily limits and curfews, signifies a veiled admission from Big Tech about its responsibility for young users. The author argues that platforms are designed to maximize engagement, shifting the burden of safety from parental supervision and user self-control to the companies themselves. The settlement initiates a reevaluation of product design's role in child safety, questioning default engagement-maximizing feeds and advocating for safer, opt-in personalization, thus redrawing boundaries of corporate accountability.
