> TikTok has agreed to pay the US $400m to resolve a lawsuit alleging that it and parent company ByteDance collected vast amounts of data from millions of users under 13. The Justice Department said the settlement requires $300m immediately and a further $100m once a related Federal Trade Commission consent decree is vacated.
