Yeah, the question of whether they knew, whether they whether they pushed back is you know it's ridiculous.

Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's it also it also doesn't allow future cases to go forward using this evidence on this question.
that's the other bumper.
They've buried it.
It's that's part of why they settled.
Yeah, it took it took me a lot of work to try and figure out why that would be the case.
So here's what I've figured out from talking to a bunch of people is
What they're basically doing is is so so they will pay an additional five billion in penalties if YouTube and TikTok join up and agree to play by the same rules, basically.
And so what they're essentially hedging is
Um, that i it's it's worth it to them to pay five billion dollars to have all their competitors be constrained in the same way they will be.
And
And it would also be um and and and they're gonna not have to sp spend that five billion dollars if they have to hold themselves to these standards that Google that their competitors do not.
And what's so weird and interesting about that um uh that that sort of circumstances, like if you look at past settlements, if you look at the tobacco, big tobacco mass resettlement agreement or the Volkswagen.
Dragon diesel scandal or the Deepwater Horizon suits, those settlements required none of that kind of contingency.
They just had them and and char and and made them pay enormous amounts of money and change the way they do business.
