TikTok's internal strategy aimed at persuading lawmakers like Mitch McConnell reveals the company's efforts to mitigate skepticism related to its connections with China and youth mental health.
The lawsuit indicated TikTok identified specific local businesses whose content might engage McConnell, reflecting an organized approach to softening political opposition.
Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman stated the lawsuit follows a lengthy investigation, accusing TikTok of cultivating addictive environments for children and misleading the public about associated risks.
TikTok spokesperson Alex Haurek emphasized that collaborating with politicians is common practice across companies, defending against claims of manipulation while asserting the company's commitment to user safety.
