An Ignoble Experiment: The 7: Mark Zuckerberg’s extraordinary apology; child tax credit; why Taylor Swift’s music may soon leave TikTok; and more

Good morning. It's Thursday, Feb. 1, the first day of Black History Month. Get started by reading about the extraordinary life of civil rights icon Leroy Moton. Now let's catch up.

What happened? The Meta CEO addressed victims' families during an emotional Senate hearing yesterday. He faced pressure from lawmakers to admit his company's wrongdoing.
Zooming out: Zuckerberg was one of five major tech company CEOs to appear. The hearing took place as Congress is trying to pass new protections for children online.

What it would do: Help more low-income families claim more money, adjust payments for inflation for the 2024 and 2025 filing years, and also strengthen some corporate tax breaks.
What now? The bill goes to the Senate, where it may struggle to pass. Senate Republicans have criticized the measure, saying it could help President Biden's reelection campaign.

The case: Disney claimed the Republican removed its special tax arrangements in Florida in retaliation after its CEO opposed a 2022 law limiting LGBTQ discussions in schools.
The bigger picture: DeSantis's legal victory yesterday is the latest chapter in a two-year-old feud between the governor and Disney — two of Florida's power centers.

Who is she? The Atlanta-area district attorney overseeing an election interference case against former president Donald Trump and 18 others.
What's happening? Willis has been accused of having an improper relationship with the case's top prosecutor, Nathan Wade. She has not directly addressed the allegations.
Why it matters: The subpoena issued to Willis could lead to proceedings that may decide whether the Trump case continues. A hearing is set for Feb. 15.

Which ones? South Moon, Rebright and FivFivGo eyedrops. The brands are unapproved drugs that put users at risk of eye infection, the agency said yesterday.
What else to know: The FDA said these "copycat eye drop products" can be mistaken for FDA-approved products, and warned of online retailers making "false claims."

Why? There's a dispute between the video platform and Universal Music Group, which accused TikTok of acting like a "bully" in negotiations to pay for the use of music.
It's not just Swift: Drake, Adele, Harry Styles and Billie Eilish are also represented by Universal. Music licensed by the label is set to be removed in the coming days.
What else to know: TikTok, a pioneer in short vertical videos, is now pushing content creators to post long horizontal videos.
