TikTok reached a $400m (£293.2m) settlement with the US Department of Justice, resolving a 2024 lawsuit over alleged violations of federal children’s privacy laws. While this ends the legal overhang, the sizable payout reinforces regulatory and compliance risks around data practices. The settlement is likely more of a risk-management headline than a fundamental earnings driver in the near term.
