The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against TikTok, accusing it of illegally collecting data on millions of children. This lawsuit aims to stop TikTok's alleged mass-scale invasion of children's privacy. The DOJ claims that TikTok violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by allowing children to create accounts without parental consent and not deleting their information when requested. TikTok's spokesperson rejected the allegations by claiming that these violations had already been addressed.
