TikTok to Pay Alabama at Least $100 Million, Avoiding Teen-Safety Trial

TikTok agreed to pay Alabama at least $100 million to settle claims it misled parents about tools shielding children from harmful content, avoiding a trial set to begin Monday. Alabama described it as a first-in-the-nation state settlement over social media and teen wellbeing. More than a dozen other states still have suits against TikTok.
