Our Prediction
Within the next 60 days, the Trump administration will announce new regulations aimed at increasing scrutiny of Meta's data practices, leading to a significant increase in Meta's compliance costs.
WHERE WE COULD BE WRONG
This prediction could fail if the Trump administration does not follow through on its vow to investigate EU fines on US tech companies, or if Meta is able to successfully lobby against increased scrutiny.
