YouTube generated over $60 billion in revenue in 2025, surpassing Netflix’s $45 billion, marking the first time Google has independently reported its annual earnings. Separately, the European Union has ordered TikTok to modify its "addictive design" after an investigation found the platform breached online safety regulations, with failure to comply resulting in substantial financial penalties. Meanwhile, at Google, nearly 900 full-time staff members signed an open letter demanding the company sever ties with US federal immigration enforcement agencies. The employees are pressuring the company for greater transparency and an end to contracts supporting operations that have turned violent.
