TikTok to pay $400 million to settle claims it violated children’s online privacy laws
The Department of Justice said on Friday that TikTok and China’s ByteDance have agreed to pay $400 million to settle claims that the social media platform violated U.S. children’s online privacy laws.
The agency sued TikTok in 2024, alleging that it violated the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act by collecting data from its young users.
ByteDance and TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
