The lawsuits cited internal company documents to argue that TikTok created addictive features to exploit children's underdeveloped psychological and neurological controls to lock young users into cycles of excessive and unhealthy usage of social media.
New York Attorney General Letitia James stated, "In New York and across the country, young people have died or gotten injured doing dangerous TikTok challenges and many more are feeling more sad, anxious, and depressed because of TikTok's addictive features."
The bipartisan coalition seeks to impose financial penalties and to collect damages for users that have allegedly been harmed by TikTok's practices.
A TikTok spokesperson expressed disagreement with the claims, asserting that the platform prioritizes user safety and well-being.
