Bereaved families have filed a lawsuit against TikTok in the United States over efforts to access their children’s social media accounts because they “want answers” about their deaths.
The Social Media Victims Law Centre (SMVLC), a US-based legal resource for parents of children harmed by social media use, said it had filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the video-sharing platform and its parent firm, ByteDance, on behalf of four families in the UK.
