Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against TikTok on Oct. 3 alleging that the video-sharing app violated a new state law aimed at protecting minors from harmful content and data collection practices.
The Securing Children Online through Parental Empowerment (SCOPE) Act, which took effect on Sept. 1, prohibits digital service providers from sharing or selling minors’ personal identifying information without the consent of their parents or legal guardians.
