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.
