TikTok Reaches $100 Million Settlement with Alabama Over Teen Safety Concerns

TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, have reached a settlement with the state of Alabama, agreeing to pay at least $100 million and implement new safety measures for teen users.

Key provisions of the agreement include daily time limits for young users, the introduction of 'productive pauses' during extended use, restrictions on nighttime access, enhanced content moderation, more user-friendly parental controls, and a ban on cosmetic filters for teen users.

Tokyo Court Grants Legal Protection to Human Voices in AI Clone Case

Tokyo Court Grants Legal Protection to Human Voices in AI Clone Case

A Tokyo District Court has issued a landmark ruling granting legal protection to the human voice, specifically in a case involving the unauthorized use of an AI-generated clone of a popular Japanese anime voice actor's voice. Kenjiro Tsuda, known for his distinctive baritone, sued TikTok over an account that used an AI clone of his voice to narrate over 180 videos about urban legends and paranormal phenomena, attracting over 200,000 subscribers. Presiding Judge Aya Takahashi stated that the human voice is symbolic of individual personality, akin to a portrait, and that the unauthorized use with commercial intent constitutes an infringement of publicity rights. While the court dismissed Tsuda's demand for video deletion because the account had already been closed, the decision marks the first acknowledgment of the right to one's voice in Japan, setting a precedent for voice actors concerned about AI cloning.
