Sixty-three percent of all Americans between the ages of 13 and 17 said they use TikTok, according to a 2023 Pew Research survey.

More than a dozen states and the District of Columbia sued TikTok on Tuesday, alleging the platform exploits and harms young users while "deceiving" the public about these dangers.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta and 13 other attorneys general on Tuesday filed separate lawsuits against the Chinese-owned company, alleging violation of state consumer protection laws and severe harm for young users.
