DENVER — Colorado has joined a nationwide investigation into the social media giant, TikTok, to examine its impact on kids in our state, the Colorado Attorney General's Office announced Monday.
The group is calling on TikTok to turn over internal communications to see how it's affecting the physical and mental health of kids and young adults. In Monday's announcement, Weiser's office said this information is critical in determining whether the company broke any laws, citing social media's role in the ongoing youth mental health crisis.
While he didn't give any specifics, headlines from CNN, The New York Times and Wall Street Journal claim TikTok pushed dangerous weight-loss content to teenage girls. "We have the responsibility of protecting all consumers, and if businesses are engaging in unfair or predatory behavior, we're going to hold them to account and we're gonna protect consumers," said Weiser.
