The Texas lawsuit centers on TikTok's alleged violations of the Securing Children Online through Parental Empowerment Act (SCOPE Act), particularly in sharing minors' personal information without proper consent.
TikTok reportedly failed to provide adequate parental controls and transparency regarding their algorithm targeting, thus undermining the safety and privacy measures mandated by Texas law.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton emphasized the importance of holding TikTok accountable, expressing commitment to protect the privacy of minors and addressing the issues related to Big Tech's practices.
TikTok's extensive data collection practices—ranging from usernames and passwords to location information—raise concerns about how minors' data is managed and who it is shared with.
