US sues TikTok over 'massive-scale' privacy violations of kids under 13

The U.S. Justice Department has sued TikTok and parent company ByteDance for allegedly violating children's privacy on the social media app. TikTok has been accused of collecting personal information from users under the age of 13 without obtaining parental consent, which violates the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. The lawsuit is part of the U.S. government's ongoing efforts to address concerns about TikTok's data collection practices and potential influence from the Chinese government. In response, TikTok stated it disagrees with the allegations and is committed to improving its platform's privacy protections. The Federal Trade Commission has joined the lawsuit and seeks penalties for TikTok's data collection activities.
