TikTok is being forced to make major changes for Alabama teens, including a two-hour daily limit, overnight curfews and an end to the personalized "For You" page. The sweeping restrictions are part of a $100 million settlement reached just days before Alabama's lawsuit against the social media giant was set to go to trial. Within 45 days, TikTok must also introduce mandatory breaks during extended scrolling, ban cosmetic filters for minors and strengthen safeguards between teen and adult accounts. If TikTok fails to comply, it could face an additional $300 million penalty. Read more on how the new rules will change TikTok for young users and what parents need to know:

TikTok will pay Alabama at least $100 million in a settlement tied to allegations that the short-form video platform misled users about safety and was designed to addict children.

TikTok Inc. is claiming to be a member of the media, as defined by Texas law, in asking a state appellate court to resolve its appeal of a judge’s ruling that it lied about its ability to keep harmful material from children before trial commences.

"TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers," per ProPublica
