Fourteen U.S. attorneys general have filed a lawsuit against TikTok, arguing that the platform harms the mental health of minors and unlawfully collects data from users without consent. The lawsuit adds to TikTok's legal troubles, including a recent case from the FTC and Justice Department for violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. The company, owned by China's ByteDance, faces a potential ban in the U.S. unless it sells by January 19, 2025. This legal scrutiny highlights growing concerns about social media's impact on youth.
