Seven French families have filed a lawsuit against TikTok, alleging that the platform’s algorithm exposed their children to dangerous content promoting self-harm and eating disorders. The collective, named Algos Victima, argues that TikTok has failed to protect minors, contributing to mental health declines and even suicides among young users. The families seek legal acknowledgment of TikTok’s responsibilities and improved content moderation to prevent such exposures. An attorney for the families contends that TikTok’s algorithm exacerbates users’ vulnerabilities, leading to a concerning cycle of harmful content consumption.
