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 due to TikTok. In such a situation, the US Justice Department on Friday took a big step against TikTok and filed a lawsuit. This has brought the company into action. The company has been accused by the US of violating children’s online privacy law and violating an agreement with another federal agency.
This complaint has been filed in a California federal court in collaboration with the Federal Trade Commission at a time when the US and the major 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 America has filed a case against the TikTok company, it is necessary for children-related apps and websites to take 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, America has filed an FIR against the company. But no response has been received from TikTok in this matter so far.
