TikTok to pay $100 million to Alabama in teen addiction settlement

TikTok has agreed to pay at least $100 million to the state of Alabama days before a trial on teen addiction was set to begin. This settlement comes as TikTok is the latest social media platform to face legal challenges over its handling of teenage addiction issues. The company settled to avoid a trial that would scrutinize its practices related to adolescent mental health. This case is part of a broader wave of legal actions against social media giants over youth addiction concerns.
