The U.S. government is looking into allegations that China-based video sharing app TikTok violated children's privacy
WASHINGTON - The Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Justice Department are looking into allegations that popular app TikTok failed to live up to a 2019 agreement aimed at protecting children’s privacy, according to two people interviewed by the agencies.
A staffer in a Massachusetts tech policy group and another source said they took part in separate conference calls with FTC and Justice Department officials to discuss accusations that TikTok had failed to live up to an agreement announced in February 2019. “I got the sense from our conversation that they are looking into the assertions that we raised in our complaint,” Monahan said.
