An Indiana county judge has dismissed a state lawsuit filed against TikTok that had accused the app of deceiving its users about the level of inappropriate content for children on its platform and the security of consumers’ personal information. A pair of lawsuits originally filed by Attorney General Todd Rokita in December 2022 said the social media giant has misled users. They alleged the app contains “salacious” content despite company claims it is safe for children 13 years and under. In the second complaint, the state argued that the app deceives consumers into believing their sensitive information is secure. The lawsuits were consolidated. A spokesperson says the attorney general's office is “considering appellate options at this time.”
