The Meta Settlement Makes Big Tech Bigger

The contradiction sitting at the center of all this isn’t subtle. Government insists Meta has grown too powerful, then hands it responsibilities that used to belong to parents while piling on regulatory costs that smaller rivals may not survive. We are, somehow, asking the company to become both less powerful and more responsible for managing American childhood at the same time.

That isn’t a fix for Big Tech’s power. It might be the mechanism that makes it bigger.
