The Federal Trade Commission has referred a complaint against TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, to the Department of Justice.
said in a statement Tuesday that it investigated the two companies and “uncovered reason to believe” they are “violating or are about to violate” the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, a federal law which requiresin March that the agency was looking into whether TikTok violated a prohibition against “unfair and deceptive” business practices by denying that individuals in China had access to U.S. user data.
The FTC said its investigation began in connection with a compliance review of a 2019 settlement between the agency and Musical.y,that was acquired by ByteDance in 2017. Under the settlement, Musical.y agreed to pay $5.7 million to resolve allegations that the company violated the children’s privacy law.
