The prosecution from 13 states in America has filed a lawsuit against TikTok, citing features that lead to children becoming addicted users. Despite the platform claiming to have control over this aspect. The TikTok Policy explicitly addresses these allegations, confirming that the platform has made improvements to protect child users. This includes deleting inappropriate accounts, implementing time limits, and offering a feature for families to manage children’s accounts. In the past two years, the company has collaborated with prosecutors, making this lawsuit disappointing. The prosecution’s complaint also mentions TikTok’s in-app currency system for gifting, which could potentially be illegal.
