N.H. AG Adds Livestreaming Claim in Lawsuit Against TikTok

New Hampshire amended a lawsuit against TikTok and alleged additional violations of the state’s consumer protection law, the state’s DOJ said Monday. The state first sued TikTok in June for allegedly prioritizing profits over app safety and misleading parents about the company’s ability to maintain a safe space for children. The amended complaint additionally claims that the company has profited from TikTok Live, a livestreaming feature that some allegedly employ to financially and sexually exploit young users. Attorney General John Formella (R) is asking the New Hampshire Superior Court in Merrimack for an injunction and monetary penalties (case 217-2024-CV-00399). Earlier this month, 14 other AGs filed similar lawsuits against TikTok in separate courts (see 2410080042). An additional eight states previously sued the company.
