Speaking in northern Kentucky this morning, Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman said the popular short form video app was designed to be addictive to kids and that it harms their mental health.
More than a dozen states have filed similar lawsuits.
At the heart of each suit is Tiktok's algorithm, which pushes content tailored to people's interests.
In a statement, Attorney General Coleman said, quote, If we don't hold TikTok accountable, our children will suffer the very real consequences, nothing less than their mental, physical and emotional health are on the line.
And of quote, Tik Tok says Many of the allegations in the lawsuits are wrong and misleading.
