Tiktok Accused of Violating Children’s Privacy
A recent class action lawsuit alleges TikTok and its parent company ByteDance targeted millions of children under the age of 13 and violated their privacy.
According to the lawsuit, ByteDance “knowingly” encouraged children under 13 to create TikTok accounts “for the purpose of collecting intimate, deeply intrusive data points about them and their online behavior without notice and parental consent.”
“Defendants use this unlawfully collected personal information for the purpose of providing personally curated content that will keep children engaged with TikTok, so that defendants can serve them copious amounts of behavioral advertising and/or share their information with third parties,” the parents allege.
The lawsuit comes a week after the U.S. Department of Justice hit TikTok and ByteDance with a lawsuit claiming the companies violated laws to protect children’s privacy online.
The lawsuit alleges that the companies collected and stored children’s data — including their email addresses — from the popular app, despite a court order banning it from doing so.
