Meta, following its $18B settlement with U.S. regulators over youth addiction concerns, has launched a full-page ad campaign in major newspapers calling on TikTok and YouTube to adopt identical teen protection measures (2-hour daily limits, night-mode defaults, parental controls). The move signals either genuine industry standardization efforts or strategic competitive pressure—The New York Times interpretation suggests the latter. For Thai SMEs in tech/social media, this signals regulatory momentum toward stricter platform controls globally that may eventually affect regional operations.
