TikTok faces stricter age checks, new usage limits under Alabama settlement

2026-09-29  Ian Fleming

The agreement, which came days before a scheduled trial, calls for TikTok to implement changes for teenagers in Alabama, including a two-hour daily time limit, pauses after 15 minutes of use and stricter age checks. TikTok will pay Alabama at least $100 million under the settlement, but the state's payout could grow to $300 million if 40 other attorneys general sign on to similar agreements with the company within a specified timeframe, according to the settlement.
