Justice Department sues TikTok, accusing the company of illegally collecting children's data
대한민국 최근 뉴스,대한민국 헤드 라인

The Justice Department sued TikTok on Friday, accusing the company of violating children’s online privacy law.

The latest lawsuit focuses on allegations that TikTok violated a federal law that requires kid-oriented apps and websites to get parental consent before collecting personal information of children under 13., accusing the company of violating children’s online privacy law and running afoul of a settlement it had reached with another federal agency.

The U.S. decided to file the lawsuit following an investigation by the FTC that looked into whether the companies were complying with a previous settlement involving TikTok’s predecessor, Musical.ly.That same year, Musical.ly — acquired by ByteDance in 2017 and merged with TikTok — agreed to pay $5.7 million to resolve those allegations. The two companies were also subject to a court order requiring them to comply with COPPA, which the government says hasn’t happened.

The two agencies allege the information collected included activities on the app and other identifiers used to build user profiles. They also accuse TikTok of sharing the data with other companies – such as Meta’s Facebook and an analytics company called AppsFlyer – to persuade “Kids Mode” users to be on the platform more, a practice TikTok called “re-targeting less active users.”
