TikTok and its Chinese parent ByteDance agreed to pay Alabama $100 million and accept restrictions on minors' use of the app, resolving the state's lawsuit alleging the platform deliberately fostered addiction among children and teenagers. The new reported payment differs from earlier reporting of $116 million in restitution under a Montgomery Circuit Court consent decree, alongside a separate conditional fund of about $183 million tied to qualifying settlements with other states. TikTok did not admit wrongdoing. The agreement requires overnight limits for teen accounts, a default two-hour daily use cap, parental monitoring tools, private-by-default teen accounts and a non-personalized feed option. Alabama sued in April 2025, alleging TikTok's recommendation system kept children engaged for advertising purposes while exposing them to harmful content. The settlement was reached shortly before a jury trial scheduled for Monday.
