To date, harmful content such as eating disorders and self-harm has been prevalent on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. In response, US and European regulators have advocated protecting children's online privacy and security.
TikTok's 'fainting challenge' epidemic kills more than 15 children under the age of 12 in a year and a half, why can't users under the age of 13 be excluded? -GIGAZINE
The Child Safety Act enacted in California in September 2022 states that ``companies that provide online services, products, or features that children are likely to access must ensure that children read their privacy information, terms of use, policies, and community standards. It is expressly prohibited to 'use children's personal information, collect or sell their geographic location, or allow children to provide personal information'.
NetChoice, a technology industry group that includes Amazon, Google, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, etc., said, ``Child safety laws require online services to function as content censors, violating freedom of speech.'' 'It may harm minors and others by preventing them from accessing free and open online resources.'
(PDF file) NetChoice's complaint states, `` Such excessive moderation limits the use of users' information and leads to the suppression of important resources for young people.''
Meanwhile, California Attorney General Rob Bonta has not responded to NetChoice's filing of the complaint, but said, 'We are reviewing the complaint and look forward to defending child safety laws in court.' has announced that it will fight in court.
