TikTok limits US content to two hours daily
TikTok has agreed to pay at least 100 million dollars to the state of Alabama and settle lawsuits related to the app's impact on teenage well-being. The settlement includes strict restrictions on how teenagers can use the platform, such as limiting usage to a maximum of two hours daily, banning the use of filters, restricting access during certain hours, and strengthening age verification procedures. Additionally, the agreement extends the nightly ban to from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., in exchange for a payment of 100 million dollars, with the possibility of increasing the amount to 300 million dollars if other states join similar agreements. These measures are part of stringent regulatory efforts, while lawsuits against other platforms, such as Meta, continue, with the company having been compelled to pay substantial sums to victims of social media addiction. The goal of the settlement is to protect teenagers and reduce the impact of harmful content by imposing restrictions and enhancing safety measures.
