| [FoxBusiness] The first-of-its-kind agreement also imposes two-hour daily limits, overnight curfews and bans cosmetic filters for children Alabama teenagers using TikTok will soon face two-hour daily limits, overnight curfews and an end to the app's customized "For You" page after the social media giant reached a $100 million settlement with the state. TikTok reached the first-of-its-kind settlement just days before the lawsuit was scheduled to go to trial. Rather than imposing only financial penalties, the agreement requires the company to overhaul several of its core features for minors. "TikTok has agreed to give parents real control over what their kids see and how much time they spend on the app," Republican Attorney General Steve Marshall said in a statement. "We've said from day one that our number one goal was to stand up for Alabamians when they are being harmed, and today, we did exactly that." |
