Feels kind of weird that the FTC didn’t seem to know about Google’s own YouTube announcements today ahead of time. You’d think they would’ve coordinated that? — PolitiTweet.org

That Google ultimately volunteered to implement it on its own is proof that company officials “have incentives to police their platform,” Smith says. — PolitiTweet.org

The FTC’s Andrew Smith says regulators considered forcing a technological remedy like proactive machine learning identification of children’s content, but ultimately worried that it could lead to an unwinnable legal back-and-forth when it came time to enforce. — PolitiTweet.org

Chairman @JoeSimonsFTC argues that the FTC had to balance what it could get from a settlement against what it might have gotten (or lost) by going to court against Google. — PolitiTweet.org

Slaughter adds there's nothing in the deal to prevent people from lying about whether their videos are for kids; it's just a voluntary self-certification program. Chopra says this settlement repeats the mistakes of the Facebook deal — doesn't hold execs personally liable, etc. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
But as with the Facebook settlement, this deal has the FTC split along party lines. @RKSlaughterFTC and @chopraftc both say Google/YouTube needed to face tougher penalties. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
In addition to the fine, Google will also have to make creators of children's content say whether their videos are for kids, a signal Google will use to shape its advertising practices. Google separately says it'll soon treat all data from kid videos as if the viewer is a kid. — PolitiTweet.org

More than half the nation’s state AGs are readying an antitrust investigation into Google, with an announcement set for Sept. 9, multiple people familiar tell me, confirming @tonyromm’s scoop. One person said the announcement is to take place near SCOTUS Monday afternoon. — PolitiTweet.org

FEC Chairwoman Ellen Weintraub is convening a meeting to tackle election disinformation on Sept. 17 in Washington. Facebook and Twitter tell me they’ve been invited and plan to go. No word from Google thus far. (Hat-tip to @nancyscola, who first reported the meeting.) — PolitiTweet.org

The question isn’t “do Americans still value their privacy”; it’s “to what extent have consumers been misled by imperfect information in a badly functioning market" — PolitiTweet.org

There’s also a big difference between “knowing what you post isn’t private” and fully understanding that every interaction with the platform is tracked and monetized. https://t.co/zpQJTB75i9 — PolitiTweet.org

I love how this National Review piece opens by pointing out how Ma Bell never tried to do surveillance capitalism like Big Tech does when the last like 5 years of AT&T’s whole strategy has been to try and beat Silicon Valley at its own game https://t.co/giixOg0e3m https://t.co/PjD8zV2aIx — PolitiTweet.org
