Attorneys general from 14 states sue TikTok alleging harm to childrens' mental health
by Clyde Hughes · UPIOct. 8 (UPI) -- Attorneys general from 14 states filed lawsuits Tuesday against the social media platform TikTok, charging the short-video app deceives the public by claiming it is safe for young people.
The cases, filed individually, argue that TikTok, owned by the China-based company Byte Dance, harms the mental health of young people while the platform collects information on them without consent.
