Zuckerberg wants regulation to force rivals into teen-safety parity but market forces, not mandates, to govern AI safety.
- Aggregation theory, again: Zuckerberg says Meta's AI agent Muse will make money by taking "a very small cut" of transactions it facilitates for small businesses, echoing Meta's playbook of aggregating demand — the same model Meta itself resents when Apple does it via a 30% App Store fee.
- Prisoner's dilemma, selectively applied: Zuckerberg wants government-mandated teen-safety rules across all platforms (so Meta isn't punished for unilaterally restricting usage while TikTok doesn't), but opposes similar mandated slowdowns for AI safety, preferring market incentives.
