TikTok has agreed to pay Alabama $100 million to settle a lawsuit accusing the platform of addicting young users to its social media app. The settlement resolves claims that the company designed its products to keep minors engaged for harmful lengths of time. It marks another legal and financial setback for TikTok as US states continue pressing tech companies over youth safety and addictive design.
Why now: It is a major settlement in the ongoing wave of US state lawsuits over social media's impact on children.
