A landmark settlement with U.S. regulators over privacy violations has failed to disrupt Meta’s core business, leaving its advertising-driven revenue model largely intact. The agreement, which avoids major structural changes, allows the company to continue collecting user data for targeted ads while imposing limited financial penalties. Critics argue the terms fall short of addressing broader concerns about data exploitation and user privacy. Legal experts suggest the deal may set a precedent for how tech giants navigate future regulatory challenges without sacrificing profitability.
