The Biden administration fired another shot across the bow at TikTok and its Chinese-owned parent ByteDance.
The popular video sharing app was slapped with a lawsuit by the Justice Department for failing to protect children’s privacy, according to the complaint filed in California federal court Friday.
The civil lawsuit, which was joined by the Federal Trade Commission, comes as TikTok fights a new law that would force ByteDance to divest TikTok’s US assets by Jan. 19 or face a ban.
