The EU regulators want more concessions if Meta wants to stave off a major fine.

The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) introduced regulation to keep children off the internet a lot of the time, which could be a game changer for Tencent, ByteDance and other social platforms. The new rules have specific rules for different age groups of children, and include limiting “non-adult” children from accessing the internet via mobile for more than 2 hours between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 am.
The ruling results from a case in which a male Facebook user wanted to remain anonymous after making secret recordings of women and then posting defamatory statements about them. A claimant asked Meta to delete the posts and identify the man, but Meta refused claiming his free speech rights. However, the Court ruled the claimant deserved an opportunity to challenge the man’s allegedly defamatory statements.
They didn’t call it a CDP, but Meta just launched a product to “connect your first-party data from any sources to any destination, streamlining your data handling processes and unlocking valuable insights to optimize your marketing campaigns.” The name of this miracle cure is Signals Gateway, and pricing seems to start at $30 per month. Data is hosted in Amazon Web Services and, at least in theory, Meta can’t see it.
