Alabama and TikTok reached a multi-million-dollar settlement. Attorney General Steve Marshall announced Friday Alabama will receive at least 116-million dollars and up to 300 million if "certain conditions are met." Marshall first filed the complaint against TikTok in April 2025, alleging it exploited children by addicting them to damaging content and misrepresenting the platform's safety. If the agreement had not been reached, a trial was scheduled to begin Monday in Montgomery against the social media giant and its parent company, ByteDance. Alabama is the first state to make its case against TikTok, paving the way for other states to do the same, with a lawsuit or settlement likely.
