The US Department of Justice sued TikTok for illegally collecting data on kids, allowing accounts without parental consent, and failing to delete children's information as requested.
The DOJ alleges that TikTok's age verification is easily circumvented, enabling millions of kids to provide fake birthdates and access the platform, leading to potential privacy violations.
TikTok's violations are significant, with internal data showing millions of users under 13, surpassing official estimates. The DOJ seeks to hold TikTok accountable for infringing children's privacy rights.
