TikTok will pay the state of Alabama at least $100 million and must implement a slew of safety features for teens in the state as part of a settlement agreement reached just before the case was set to go to trial.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
The lawsuit argued that TikTok’s “addictive properties” — namely its algorithm that curates highly specific content catered to users’ interests — were harmful to children and that the company knew of those harms.
In the settlement, TikTok agreed to implement a two-hour daily time limit, pause after 15 minutes of use and improve age checks for users.
“This is a great day for Alabama parents,” Marshall said in a statement.
Alabama sued the social media company in 2025 claiming that the platform had negative effects on the mental well-being of youths.
