TikTok on Friday agreed to a settlement with Alabama just days before a trial was set to begin over claims the company misled parents about tools meant to shield children from harmful content.

"Under the settlement, Alabama will receive a minimum of $100 million, due to the state within 45 days, with the potential to receive up to $300 million if certain conditions are met," the office of the attorney general in the southern US state said in a statement.
