Fourteen state attorneys general are filing lawsuits against TikTok. In separate but coordinated complaints, the bipartisan group of AGs allege TikTok is psychologically harmful and financially exploiting young users. “TikTok’s platform, designed to be dangerously addictive, inflicts immense damage on an entire generation of young people,” said DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb. “In addition to prioritizing its profits over the health of children, TikTok’s unregulated and illegal virtual economy allows the darkest, most depraved corners of society to prey upon vulnerable victims.” Responded TikTok spokesperson Alex Haurek, “We strongly disagree with these claims, many of which we believe to be inaccurate and misleading. We’re proud of and remain deeply committed to the work we’ve done to protect teens and we will continue to update and improve our product.”

Disney channels have been restored to DirecTV following their carriage dispute, but all the issues between the companies have yet to be resolved. In a complaint filed with the FCC, DirecTV objected to Disney’s requirement of a “clean slate” clause in their contract, which would have DirecTV waive its rights to criticize Disney’s carriage terms as anticompetitive, and ban complaints filed with the FCC. Disney responded by saying DirecTV had misunderstood the clause, and it was routine term not meant to apply to regulatory matters. In a response on Monday, DirecTV said officials at Disney waited until after the FCC complaint was filed to clarify the clean slate language, and said it had supplied Disney with a proposed contract that limited the clean slate agreement to matters involving direct litigation. While the situation is not expected to affect the tentative distribution deal between Disney and DirecTV, if the FCC determines Disney operated in bad faith, a fine could be imposed.
