TL;DR

Indiana filed a pair of lawsuits against TikTok Wednesday, alleging the platform is deceiving consumers about its content and data security, the latest in a growing number of moves by state officials to push back against the platform’s influence on children and its connections to China.The state said its lawsuits are the first of their kind against the popular app and its owner, Beijing-based ByteDance Ltd.In one of the complaints, Indiana alleged that TikTok’s algorithm is designed to addict young users and promotes harmful content that isn’t appropriate for them.The lawsuit cites studies and reports linking heavy use of the platform to mental disorders among teenagers, including eating disorders and depression.Sign In- Michael Kors:Sign Up For Michael Kors KORSVIP and Get 10% OFF Your First Purchase w/ Michael Kors Promo Code- JCPenney:Today's JCPenney coupon code - 30% off entire purchase- Target:25% off sitewide with this Target Promo Code- T.J.
