The state of Utah is suing TikTok, claiming the app's "addictiveness" harms children.
Ednews reports citing "Bloomberg" that TikTok has been facing many similar problems and lawsuits in the United States recently. Indiana and several other states made claims similar to Utah's in their lawsuit against TikTok last year.
Utah State Official Spencer Cox said in a press release announcing the lawsuit that TikTok misled users that it was safe for children.
Notably, UDCP's lawsuit requests a jury trial and asks a judge to permanently ban TikTok and order the company to pay UDCP's legal fees for the case and a $300,000 civil penalty.
