  • The settlement, announced by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on August 21, 2026, addresses claims that TikTok failed to protect children under 13 and collected their personal information without parental consent.
  • The lawsuit was filed in 2024, alleging that TikTok allowed children under 13 to use regular accounts and collected personal information in violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
