TikTok to pay Alabama $100M and limit teen use in first state settlement

TikTok settled Alabama's lawsuit, agreeing to pay at least $100 million and impose new teen restrictions: a two-hour daily limit, overnight access curbs, stronger age verification and a ban on beauty filters. The total could reach $300 million if 40 other attorneys general sign similar deals.

• Alabama payout starts at $100 million, up to $300 million if 40 more states join
• Teens get a two-hour daily limit and overnight access restrictions
• Beauty filters banned; a non-personalized feed option added
• Suits by a dozen other states, including California and New York, continue
