New York Attorney General Letitia James released the following statement after New York State Supreme Court Judge Anar Rathod Patel denied TikTok’s motion to dismiss her lawsuit against the company for harming young people’s mental health: “I am pleased with the decision denying TikTok’s attempt to dismiss our lawsuit. In New York and across the country, TikTok challenges have put kids in harm’s way, and countless others are struggling with high rates of anxiety and depression because of TikTok’s addictive features. The youth mental health crisis is hurting families nationwide and we will continue our efforts to hold TikTok accountable and protect our young people.” – AG James
