U.S. probing allegations TikTok violated children's privacy, sources say.

A staffer in a Massachusetts tech policy group and another source said they took part in separate conference calls with FTC and Justice Department officials to discuss accusations the China-based short video sharing app had failed to live up to an agreement announced in February 2019.

Reuters could not determine whether any action would be taken against TikTok by either of the two agencies. Officials from both the FTC, which reached the original consent agreement with TikTok, and Justice Department, which often files court documents for the FTC, met via video with representatives of the groups to discuss the matter, said David Monahan, a campaign manager with the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood.

COPA is United States law, therefore it only applies within the United States and its territories not China. Stop purchasing smart phones that allow children to install apps then it wouldn’t be a problem. Parents monitor what your children do when they are online.

vanreport I’ve been living in a society where the outside source of information was banned with colourful explanations and brutal enforcement. It didn’t survive.

Bra cause they are Chinese

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

Politicizing!

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that K Pop kids from Tik Tok punk'd the POTUS in Tulsa.

They are democratic for sure pedophiles. Epstein catering to all Democrats president Vice President and high ranking officials. No wonder.
