HARRISBURG – PA Attorney General Dave Sunday has filed a lawsuit against TikTok, regarding the social media giant’s failures to shield children from age-inappropriate material and over-usage of the app, which can be detrimental to youth development. The complaint alleges that TikTok lies about how often adult-themed material – such as sexual content, profanity, and drug use – appears on its platform to achieve an age-13+ app rating in App Stores. Sunday said TikTok has built its empire based on a model of addictiveness at all costs, and expanded that empire using deception about what sort of content is viewable for kids. He added this is not an indictment against modern technology, rather, this is an action to hold accountable a company that values dollars over mental wellness.
