The Department of Justice announced Friday that TikTok and its parent company ByteDance will pay $400 million to resolve allegations they violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. The settlement includes an immediate $300 million payment and an additional $100 million after a court dismisses an earlier consent decree. The government had accused the platform of allowing underage users and failing to delete their data upon parental request.
