NewzTikTok has agreed to a pre-trial settlement with the US state of Alabama to pay at least $100 million and implement new limits for teen users. The agreement was reached on Friday, successfully averting a trial that had been scheduled to begin the following week.
The legal action, brought by the southern US state, centered on allegations related to child safety and teen addiction on the social media platform. Under the terms of the pre-trial resolution, Alabama is guaranteed to receive a minimum of $100 million alongside the newly mandated restrictions for younger accounts.
