US justice department sues TikTok, accusing the company of violating a children's online privacy law

The Justice Department sued TikTok, accusing it of violating children's online privacy laws and breaking a previous settlement with the FTC. The lawsuit focused on allegations that TikTok collected personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. TikTok's failure to comply with COPPA led to millions of children accessing the regular app, exposing them to adult content.
