December 11, 2025

The global chatbot market is experiencing significant growth, with projections indicating an increase from USD 5.84 billion today to USD 61.97 billion by 2035. This growth is driven by the increasing integration of AI-driven chatbots in various sectors, including e-commerce, where they enhance customer service and streamline online interactions. The demand for automation, 24/7 customer support, and seamless integration with messaging platforms is fueling this expansion. Key technologies such as cloud deployment, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing are pivotal in enhancing the scalability and service delivery of chatbots. As e-commerce companies continue to adopt these technologies, the market is set for substantial developments, fully leveraging chatbot capabilities to transform digital communication.

A landmark settlement is meant to punish Meta (META). If the 1998 tobacco deal is any guide, it might protect it.

Any moat with an opt-out clause for your competitors is just a fence around your own garden.

Worth looking at what previous legal action actually did to Meta rather than reaching for tobacco. The FTC's record five billion dollar privacy fine in 2019 was met with the stock rising, because it came in below fears and removed an open question. GDPR was designed to constrain large platforms and increased their share of the European ad market, because compliance cost fell hardest on small intermediaries. The FTC's antitrust case, the one that could genuinely have broken the company up, was decided in Meta's favour last November. The only thing that ever meaningfully hurt the business was Apple changing a tracking default, and Meta out-spent that too, while the ad-tech firms that could not afford to rebuild disappeared. The pattern is not that Meta survives regulation. It is that regulation keeps costing its smaller competitors more.

Great earnings season, but are the earnings real?

At first glance, this was the strongest earnings season in years. But when you look at where the growth actually came from, the story splits into two very different pictures.
