California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta accused the popular social media app TikTok of violating state consumer protection regulations in a lawsuit filed this week.
California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta and several other state attorneys general filed a coordinated blitz of lawsuits Tuesday against TikTok, alleging the popular social media app is exploiting young users, violating state consumer protection laws and misleading the public. A coalition of 14 attorneys general, led by Bonta and New York Atty. Gen. Letitia James, filed separate enforcement actions against the Chinese-owned app that serves as a platform for influencers and internet celebrities.
“They have been more worried about the perception that they are doing something to ensure the safety of young people than actually doing something to protect the safety of young people,” he said. Bonta, who said he’s a father to three young people who use TikTok, said he’s not only worried but “fed up” with the platform.
