AG Ellison announced today that Minnesota has prevailed against TikTok’s attempt to dismiss Minnesota’s lawsuit against the social media platform.
“TikTok has designed its product to be harmfully addictive in order to maximize its own profits. I am pleased the Court is allowing our lawsuit against TikTok to move forward, and that it rejected TikTok’s motion to dismiss in full. This ruling puts us one step closer to ensuring TikTok stops preying on Minnesota children. As long as I’m attorney general, I will protect young Minnesotans from corporations that exploit them to turn a profit.” – AG Ellison
