The Justice Department sued TikTok on Friday for illegally collecting children’s data, escalating a long-running battle between the U.S. government and the Chinese-owned app.
TikTok broke the law by gathering personal information from users under the age of 13 without their parents’ permission, according to the government’s complaint. The company knowingly allowed children under the age of 13 to create and use TikTok accounts, the government said, and frequently failed to honor parents’ requests to delete their children’s accounts.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, said those practices violated both the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, a law that restricts the online tracking of children, and a 2019 agreement between TikTok and the government in which the company pledged to notify parents before collecting children’s data and remove videos from users under 13 years old.
The suit, which also names TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, asks for the court to fine the companies over the violations.

London Police roll out military-grade riot trucks.
The Met Police just dropped £3.2 million on 18 Israeli-built Sandcat armoured beasts - 9,000kg each, built for warzones, now weaving through London traffic.
They are bulletproof, bomb-resistant, and big enough to haul 11 officers into "extreme public disorder."
They are reportedly not operational yet, just “training.”
What are they training for?
