US Attorney General Todd Blanche praised a $400 million settlement with TikTok over alleged violations of children’s online privacy, describing it as a fair outcome. He said the Justice Department would pursue other companies or individuals who break the law, signalling tougher enforcement of child-safety rules online.

The settlement concerns allegations that TikTok mishandled children’s privacy, although the supplied article text does not provide further details of the conduct or terms. The $400 million figure makes the agreement a significant financial penalty and places renewed attention on how social-media platforms collect and use young users’ data.
