TikTok pays much money to Alabama

The firm TikTok pays 100 million dollars to the US state Alabama. This is a deal. There is no court trial. The government says: TikTok makes kids sick. The app is like a game machine.

Young users get new rules. They use the app 2 hours a day. At night the app is locked. At school time there are no news. There are no beauty filters for kids. Parents get better control tools.

The firm Meta has trouble too. Meta owns Facebook and Instagram. A court in New Mexico says: Meta lies to users. Meta sells data of 87 million people. This is the data theft. Meta pays 18 billion dollars to US states.
