Justice Department reaches $400 million settlement with TikTok over child privacy case
- The Justice Department announced a $400 million settlement with TikTok and China-based ByteDance on Friday to resolve allegations the app violated federal laws protecting children's online privacy.
- Filed in 2024, the Justice Department lawsuit alleged the platform permitted children under 13 to create accounts while collecting personal information without parental consent in violation of COPPA.
- Under the agreement, TikTok will pay $300 million immediately, with $100 million due upon vacating a prior consent decree against predecessor Musical; the firm committed to implementing enhanced age-related controls and parental oversight.
- Associate Attorney General Stanley called the settlement a "major victory for American children and parents," while the company has since overhauled its ownership, management, and privacy practices.
- Recently, lawmakers questioned TikTok CEO Shou Chew regarding a report that the app disabled algorithmic safeguards for roughly 10% of American users, even as it operates under a new American-owned joint venture.
