agreed to pay Alabama at least $100 million<\/a> and adopt new restrictions for teenage users, including a two-hour daily limit, overnight access restrictions, stronger age verification, a ban on beauty filters, and an option for a non-personalized feed. The settlement could grow to as much as $300 million if enough other state attorneys general join similar agreements. The Guardian reports: A trial had been set to begin on Monday in the southern US state over claims by Alabama that TikTok misled parents about tools meant to shield children from harmful content. […] Attorney general Steve Marshall hailed Friday’s settlement as “a great day for Alabama parents.” He said: “Tonight, they can rest easier knowing real protections are in place to shield their children from the dangers of social media addiction.”
\n<\/i><\/p>\nUnder the settlement, TikTok will send $100m to Alabama and could possibly pay up to $300m in total if 40 other attorneys general sign similar agreements with the company within a specified timeframe. In addition, the Alabama deal includes a conditional restriction that Meta also agreed to: expanding the night-time shutdown period to 10pm to 7am if other platforms also commit to do the same.\n<\/p>\n
“TikTok’s priority has always been fostering a safe and positive space where people can be creative, discover what they love, and connect with their community,” a company spokesperson told AFP. “This builds on our commitment and core objective to continually enhance our robust safety tools to protect teens,” the spokesperson added. More than a dozen other states, including California and New York, still have suits against TikTok.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
