Giving a big blow to the TikTok company, America has filed a lawsuit. The company is accused of ruining the future of children and violating privacy laws.
Washington: Thousands of children in America are on the verge of ruin because of TikTok. Every day there are reports of children’s future being ruined because of TikTok. In such a situation, the US Justice Department has taken a big step against TikTok on Friday and filed a lawsuit. This has brought the company into action. The US has accused the company of violating the children’s online privacy law and violating an agreement with another federal agency.
The complaint has been filed in a federal court in California in collaboration with the Federal Trade Commission at a time when the US and the leading social media company are embroiled in another legal battle that will determine whether TikTok will be able to continue operating in the country. The recent lawsuit is about TikTok, a popular platform among young users, and its China-based parent company Bytedance violating a federal law.
What is the law in America
According to the law under which the US has filed a lawsuit against the TikTok company, children-related apps and websites are required to obtain the consent of their parents before collecting personal information of children under the age of 13. But it is alleged that this was not being followed by the company. Therefore, the US has filed an FIR against the company. But there has been no response from TikTok in this matter so far. (AP)
