Indiana Court of Appeals reinstates lawsuit filed by state against TikTok

RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL. ALL RIGHT, LET’S TALK ABOUT TIKTOK SAFETY EXECUTIVES WITH THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANT IN THE QUEEN CITY TODAY. THAT’S RIGHT. THIS VISIT COMES ON THE HEELS OF SIGNED LEGISLATION FORCING TIKTOK’S CHINESE PARENT COMPANY TO SELL OFF THE APP OR FACE A BAN. THE ISSUE IS BEING FOUGHT INSIDE THE COURTS. WLWT NEWS FIVE’S DANIELLE DINDAK WAS AT TODAY’S ROUNDTABLE TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS NEW THE THE NEW SAFETY MEASURES. DANIELLE. AND WHAT THIS COULD MEAN FOR USERS OF TIKTOK. ASHLEY, IF YOU MENTIONED TIKTOK TO A FRIEND, YOU NEVER KNOW THE REACTION. YOU’RE GOING TO GET SOME PEOPLE MIGHT SAY, HEY, DID YOU SEE THAT LATEST VIDEO? BUT OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT SAY THAT THEY’RE NOT ON THE APP BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS. SO WE TOOK THOSE CONCERNS RIGHT TO THE SOURCE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. YOU CAN FIND JUST ABOUT ANYTHING ON TIKTOK ONE A HANDMADE LEATHER BELT. CHECK OUT JEFFREY MORRISON’S PAGE IF YOU WANT TO BLOW OFF SOME STEAM OR NEED A LAUGH. SAVAGE MOM LIFE HAS YOU COVERED. HOW ABOUT SEEING YOUR FAVORITES FROM WLWT BEHIND THE SCENES? DON’T WORRY, THERE’S VIDEOS FOR THAT. TOO PICKY WITH MY WOMEN, BUT THERE’S A CONSTANT QUESTION SWIRLING ABOUT THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANT. IS TIKTOK SAFE? TIKTOK IS SAFE. I MEAN, WE HAVE SPENT $2 BILLION THIS YEAR TO BUILD OUT OUR TRUST AND SAFETY EFFORTS. SUSIE LOFTUS IS THE HEAD OF TRUST AND SAFETY FOR U.S. TIKTOK. SHE MADE A STOP TO CINCINNATI FOR A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ON SECURITY EFFORTS. THE PLATFORM IS TAKING, INCLUDING USERS UNDER 18 HAVING A 60 MINUTE TIME LIMIT, FAMILY PAIRING OPTIONS AND MORE. IF YOU ARE BETWEEN 13 AND 15, YOUR ACCOUNT IS AUTOMATICALLY PRIVATE. ONLY YOUR FRIENDS CAN COMMENT ON YOUR VIDEOS, AND FOR UNDER 18 SECONDS, YOU CAN’T GO LIVE. BUT IS YOUR INFORMATION SAFE? WHEN BUYING FROM THE TIKTOK SHOP? WE’VE TAKEN UNPRECEDENTED AND VOLUNTARY STEPS TO SECURE U.S. USER DATA. I CAN’T EVEN SEE PEOPLE’S ADDRESS WHEN THEY BUY ON MY TIKTOK. TIKTOK’S REACH PUT MORRIS NORTHERN KENTUCKY BASED LEATHER GOODS BUSINESS ON THE MAP AS HIS VIDEO VIEWS CLIMBED. HIS VIEW ON SOCIAL MEDIA CHANGED WITH IT. I DID NOT HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA BEFORE I STARTED MY BUSINESS, BUT WILL MORRISON AND MILLIONS OF OTHER USERS HAVE TO GO BACK TO A TIME WITHOUT TIKTOK. THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM IS ACCUSED OF STORING SENSITIVE AMERICAN USER DATA IN CHINA. PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNED A LAW IN APRIL SAYING THAT TIKTOK MUST FIND A NEW OWNER BY MID-JANUARY 2025, OR IT WILL BE BANNED. WE’RE CHALLENGING IN THE COURTS. IT’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL. NOW. I ALSO HAD THE CHANCE TO ASK ABOUT YOUNGER USERS POTENTIALLY LYING ABOUT THEIR AGE TO AVOID THOSE RESTRICTIONS. I WAS TALKING ABOUT, AND THEY SAID THERE’S ACTUALLY SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE ON TIKTOK FOR THAT. ONE OTHER THING I WANT TO MENTION IS THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME CRACKDOWNS ON THOSE DANGEROUS TIKTOK CHALLENGES AS WELL. WE HAVE ALL THIS INFORMATION OVER ON OUR WEBSITE, WLWT.COM REPORTING LIVE DANIELL
