Utah became the latest state Tuesday to file a lawsuit against TikTok, alleging the company is “baiting” children into addictive and unhealthy social media habits.
TikTok lures children into hours of social media use, misrepresents the app’s safety and deceptively portrays itself as independent of its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, Utah claims in the lawsuit.
“We will not stand by while these companies fail to take adequate, meaningful action to protect our children. We will prevail in holding social media companies accountable by any means necessary,” Republican Gov. Spencer Cox said at a news conference announcing the lawsuit, which was filed in state court in Salt Lake City.
They can sue a company doing the corporate media thing very successfully, because it doesn’t directly fund them…but they can’t hold gun manufacturers, oil and gas companies, etc. accountable for actual harmful effects.
Is social media good? Hell no. But it isn’t illegal. These kids can literally work in factories again, be married off to pedos, and these people are faking outrage to distract from all of that.
