Indiana judge dismisses a lawsuit filed by the state, accusing TikTok of deceiving its users.

An Indiana county judge dismisses a lawsuit filed by the state,  accusing TikTok of deceiving its users about the level of inappropriate content for children on its platform and the security of its consumers’ personal information. A pair of lawsuits filed in December 2022 accused the app of misleading its viewers, particularly children. They alleged the app contains salacious and inappropriate content despite the company claiming it is safe for children 13 years and under. In the second complaint, the state argued that the app deceives consumers into believing their sensitive and personal information is secure. The lawsuits have since been consolidated. The latest hearing on the motion to dismiss was held in October.
