Washington, August 3
The US Justice Department filed a lawsuit against TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, on Friday, accusing them of failing to protect children’s privacy on the popular social media app, as reported by Nikkei Asia.
This lawsuit is part of the Biden administration’s ongoing effort to address concerns surrounding TikTok’s data practices and its implications for national security, Nikkei Asia reported.
The lawsuit alleges that TikTok violated the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by collecting personal information from users under 13 without parental consent. — ANI
