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.

How am I being propagandized by TikTok?

Why does China having every single last drop of my information (they don't even, barely a sliver) matter?

You need to back up what you say. Your Western brainwashed idea of common sense and obvious xenophobia/racism ain't an objective truth in the world.

Still got nothing. You only have fear. You sound like those parents in the 1980's screaming about the devil when a kid dared to listen to Twisted Sister.
