The U.S. Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit Friday against TikTok and parent company ByteDance for failing to protect children’s privacy on the social media app.
The government said TikTok violated a law that prohibits collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under 13 without parental consent.
