TikTok’s parent company ByteDance has agreed to pay a $92 million settlement in a lawsuit alleging it violated Illinois’ biometric privacy laws. The company still disputes the truth of the accusations against them, of course, but right now it just wants to move on from the whole thing.
The federal lawsuit combined 21 separate class action suits from across multiple districts into one big Katamari lawsuit, claiming that both TikTok and its predecessor Musical.ly invaded numerous users’ privacy — including minors.
