US Nears 400 Million Dollar TikTok Privacy Settlement
The US is nearing a $400 million settlement with TikTok over child privacy claims. Reports suggest the funds could support Washington beautification projects.
The United States is nearing a $400 million settlement with TikTok to resolve a lawsuit over alleged child-privacy violations. The agreement would end a long-standing legal battle led by the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission. The settlement stems from allegations that TikTok collected personal information from millions of American children without parental consent.
### Funding Washington Infrastructure ABC News reported that settlement funds would be used for beautification projects in Washington, D.C., citing sources familiar with the discussions. President Donald Trump has requested $10 billion from Congress for various District of Columbia initiatives. White House officials have debated for weeks whether the legal proceeds can fund a 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery.
