The Federal Trade Commission has referred a complaint against TikTok and its Beijing-based parent company to the Department of Justice.
FILE - The icon for the video sharing TikTok app is seen on a smartphone, Feb. 28, 2023, in Marple Township, Pa. The Federal Trade Commission has referred a complaint against TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, to the Department of Justice.
TikTok spokesperson Alex Haurek said the company has been working with the FTC for more than a year to address its concerns and was “disappointed the agency is pursuing litigation instead of continuing to work with us on a reasonable solution.” “We strongly disagree with the FTC’s allegations, many of which relate to past events and practices that are factually inaccurate or have been addressed,” Haurek said in a statement.China is getting too much rain in the south and not enough rain, plus a heat wave, in the north
The FTC said its investigation began in connection with a compliance review of a 2019 settlement between the agency and Musical.y,that was acquired by ByteDance in 2017. Under the settlement, Musical.y agreed to pay $5.7 million to resolve allegations that the company violated the children’s privacy law.
The agency said that while it does not typically publicize complaints that are referred to the DOJ, it determined doing so this time was “in the public interest.”, U.S. lawmakers passed a law in April that requires TikTok to be sold to an approved buyer or face a nationwide ban.
