U.S. Sues TikTok, Alleging It Violated Child Privacy Law.

The U.S. government has filed a lawsuit against TikTok, alleging that the Chinese-owned social media platform violated child privacy laws. The lawsuit, brought by the Justice Department in coordination with the Federal Trade Commission, claims that TikTok failed to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which requires parental notification and consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, is also named as a defendant in the case. The lawsuit seeks monetary penalties, but does not specify the amount. TikTok has denied the allegations and stated that it is committed to protecting children and improving its platform. [Extracted from the article]
