The US is suing Tik-Tok, Due to "massive-scale" privacy abuses of children under 13

-

The complaint is the most recent step taken by the US against TikTok and its parent firm due to concerns that they may be inappropriately gathering a lot of data on Americans for the Chinese government and manipulating material to the detriment of Americans.



  • As the Biden administration continues its crackdown on the social media site, the United States Justice Department filed a lawsuit against TikTok and parent company ByteDance on Friday, August 2, for failing to protect children's privacy on the social media app.

  • According to the government, TikTok broke the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which says that services for children must get permission from their parents before collecting personal information from users under 13. 

  • ByteDance is fighting a new law that would require it to divest TikTok's US assets by January 19 or face a ban. The Chinese-owned short video platform has approximately 170 million US users. 


  • The claim is the most recent US activity against TikTok and its Chinese parent over fears the organization inappropriately gathers huge measures of information on Americans for the Chinese government while impacting content in a way that could hurt Americans.
