New York alleges TikTok gave users ineffective 'placebo' safety features

New York has accused TikTok of providing thousands of users, including children and teenagers, with non-functional 'ghost' versions of its safety features instead of the real ones. This allegation is part of an updated and initially sealed version of New York's 2024 lawsuit against TikTok, which was later unsealed by a judge. The claim raises concerns about the platform's transparency and user protection practices.
