TikTok settles in Alabama: new safety measures for children

The U.S. state of Alabama has reached a settlement with TikTok. The company will pay at least $100 million, with a possible increase up to $300 million. As part of the settlement, TikTok must implement concrete safety measures for minors. These include a daily two‑hour time limit, mandatory breaks during prolonged use, nighttime access restrictions, and stricter age verification. Parents will also gain more control over what their children see on TikTok.

This is an important development that clearly shows what TikTok can — and should — do to make the app safer for children and to give parents greater control.
