Indiana judge deals blow to state's lawsuit against TikTok
The decision issued last week denied the request from Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita for a court order preventing TikTok from stating on online app stores that it has “none” or “infrequent/mild” references to drugs, sexual or other inappropriate content for children as young as 12.also ruled that state courts don’t have authority over TikTok’s statements to Apple’s app store as both companies are based in California.
The lawsuit, which was filed in December, makes arguments similar to those from many state and federal lawmakers and government officials who have claimed the Chinese government could harvest U.S. user data from TikTok and use the platform to push pro-Beijing misinformation or messages to the public. TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese tech giant ByteDance, has said it has never been asked to hand over its data and denied the Indiana lawsuit’s claims.
Bobay ruled that Indiana’s consumer protection law doesn’t extend to the downloading of free apps as no money was exchanged and that the attorney general’s office was unlikely to win a trial over the lawsuit.
