TikTok says data of four dead British children may have been removed

Data from four TikTok accounts at the centre of a wrongful death lawsuit may have been deleted, according to an executive from the company.

The families of four British children — Archie Battersbee, Isaac Kenevan, Julian Sweeney (known as Jools) and Maia Walsh — believe the young people died after attempting the “blackout challenge” on the platform.
