TikTok Sued by 13 States Alleging Harm to Young Users’ Mental Health. Thirteen U.S. states and Washington, D.C. are suing TikTok, claiming it harms children’s mental health. The lawsuits accuse the app of being intentionally addictive, leading to anxiety, depression, and dangerous behavior. New York Attorney General Letitia James pointed out incidents where young people were injured or died copying stunts from the platform. The states involved include California, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey New York, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Vermont, and Washington state.
