    The Department of Justice sued TikTok and its parent company ByteDance on Friday for allegedly violating children’s online privacy law.

    The agency accused the popular social media app of allowing children
    younger than 13 years to create accounts, collecting data on those
    children and failing to comply with parents’ requests to delete the
    accounts and information.

    TikTok’s actions would violate the Children’s Online Privacy Protection
    Act (COPPA), as well as a 2019 settlement agreement with the app then
    known as Musical.ly, according to the lawsuit.

    | The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against TikTok, alleging
    | that the social media app is illegally collecting children’s data. If
    | they were actually concerned about data theft, they’d be suing EVERY
    | social media website.
