TikTok is the subject of a new class-action lawsuit that accuses the video-sharing app of failing to protect children.
The video-sharing app previously settled a child-privacy complaint brought by the Federal Trade Commission.
"Defendants have not made whole the millions of consumers harmed by their unlawful conduct," the complaint reads. "Accordingly, Plaintiffs bring this class action for relief.” “Because the App had virtually all privacy features disabled by default, there were serious ramifications, including reports of adults trying to contact minor children via the App,” the complaint reads.
