TikTok has agreed to a settlement of at least $100 million with Alabama, addressing claims that the platform misled users regarding safety and was designed to foster addiction among children. The trial was set to begin on Monday but has been averted by this agreement.

Watch for how TikTok implements the new safety measures, especially the two-hour limit for underage users. This settlement may set a precedent for other states considering similar actions, potentially reshaping user engagement strategies across social media platforms.
