YouTube CEO Neal Mohan 拒绝加入 Meta 的 180 亿美元儿童安全和解协议

YouTube CEO Neal Mohan Rejects Joining Meta's $18 Billion Child Safety Settlement

YouTube CEO Neal Mohan 在 2026 年 9 月 23 日（周三）的“Made on YouTube”活动中宣布，该平台将不会加入 Meta 的 180 亿美元多州儿童安全和解协议。Mohan 表示，YouTube 已针对年轻用户采取了充分的安全措施，且其平台模式与 Meta 不同。Meta 此前曾向 YouTube 和 TikTok 压力，要求其各自贡献约 60 亿美元以参与和解，该协议旨在解决关于平台成瘾性设计导致青少年心理健康危机的指控。加州总检察长 Rob Bonta 表示，各州可能会将 YouTube 和 TikTok 起诉至法院，以强制其参与。此前在 2026 年 3 月的一场关于青少年心理健康损害的独立审判中，YouTube 和 Meta 均被判定有罪。

YouTube CEO Neal Mohan announced on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, during the 'Made on YouTube' event, that the platform will not join Meta's $18 billion multistate child safety settlement. Mohan stated that YouTube already possesses adequate safety measures for young users and differs from Meta's platform model. Meta has pressured YouTube and TikTok to contribute approximately $6 billion each to the settlement, which addresses allegations of addictive platform design contributing to youth mental health crises. California Attorney General Rob Bonta has indicated that the states may take YouTube and TikTok to court to compel their participation. YouTube and Meta were previously found liable in a separate March 2026 trial regarding youth mental health harm.
