TikTok Pays Alabama Settlement Over Youth Addiction

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Alabama kids will now hit a daily wall on TikTok, but the $100 million payout is pocket change for a company that made billions from those same addictive loops.
💡 Why it matters
This settlement sets a precedent for state-level action against social media addiction and forces TikTok to implement concrete child safety protections.

TikTok will pay Alabama at least $100 million to settle claims it deliberately addicted young users and misled them about safety. The agreement also requires daily usage limits for minors in the state.
