Dean and Michelle Nasca, whose 16-year-old son, Chase, committed suicide last year, broke down as TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew was grilled over the teen’s death Thursday.
Dean and Michelle Nasca, whose 16-year-old son, Chase, took his own life last year after receiving more than 1,000 unsolicited videos of violence and suicide, openly sobbed a US Rep. Gus Bilirakis recounted their son’s tragic death.
Dean Nasca, whose teen son, Chase, committed suicide after being bombarded with “psychologically disturbing” TikTok videos, breaks down on Capitol Hill Thursday.“The TikTok defendants know that violent, dangerous, extreme and psychologically disturbing content triggers a greater dopamine response in minors than safe and benign content,” the 91-page complaint said.
The lawsuit claims that Chase didn’t seek out violent content, but was allegedly targeted by TikTok and flooded with depressing and suicide-themed clips “several hours every day.”
