Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell has filed a lawsuit against TikTok Inc., claiming that the social media platform is intentionally designed to be addictive and harmful to young users and that the company misleads the public about its safety measures.
The lawsuit, which names as defendants TikTok Inc. and its affiliated entities, including TikTok LLC, ByteDance Inc., and ByteDance Ltd., was filed in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston last week.
Massachusetts Secretary of Education Patrick Tutwiler says he is a firm no vote on Question 2.
Supporters of the ballot question seek to eliminate the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (widely known as MCAS) as a graduation requirement for high school students in math, science, and English.
