The most instructive part of the order is what the court declined to do. It did not require stronger age-verification systems for children under 13, and the judge referred to constraints under the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). That is a genuine regulatory tension: verifying a user's age robustly generally means collecting more personal data about minors, which is precisely what a children's privacy statute restricts. The case therefore illustrates a problem that also runs through Indian debates on social media regulation and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, which contains its own provisions on children's data and verifiable parental consent. The second point of note is that liability attached to engagement optimisation itself — the design of the recommendation and notification system — rather than to any particular item of content, which is a different theory of platform responsibility from the intermediary-liability framework built around content takedown.
