TikTok to Pay $400M in DOJ Child Privacy Settlement

TikTok agreed to pay $400 million (USD) to settle a US DOJ lawsuit alleging it violated children's privacy law COPPA, marking one of the largest such settlements ever.

Does a $400 million (USD) fine change how platforms actually treat children's data, or does it simply become a predictable cost of doing business? As ownership structures shift and new hardware, including wearables and smart glasses, begins collecting even more personal data from younger users, regulators and companies alike will need clearer answers. This case will not be the last test of that question.
