Attorneys General Sue TikTok for Damaging Young Users' Mental Health

Fourteen attorneys general, led by officials in New York and California, filed lawsuits accusing the social media platform TikTok of damaging young users’ mental health and collecting their data without consent.

The lawsuits were filed individually.
