Multiple families whose children have died attempting the viral TikTok blackout challenge have filed lawsuits against the company.
. “We just never thought that there was a darker side to what TikTok allows on its platform.”
That aspect of TikTok, unfortunately, is detailed in lawsuits from not only this Wisconsin family, but also others around the country. They similarly lost young children who were attempting the TikTok blackout challenge. At issue is what the families say is the regularity with which dangerous content not only goes viral on the platform. But it’s TikTok’s algorithm, they say, that allegedly puts that content in front of impressionable young children.
We say TikTok’s algorithm “allegedly” put that content in front of some young users because TikTok has insisted that it blocked that blackout challenge, specifically, as a search result on the platform. A safety message/warning screen appears, instead. Importantly, though, at least some of the lawsuits against TikTok over this issue say the children who died never search for the videos proactively. Rather, TikTok’s algorithm surfaced the content on its own, via the app’s For You page.
A 9 year old girl from Milwaukee passed away from learning and doing the blackout challenge from TikTok. Now TikTok is being sued. On the app store the app is for 12+ years old. Do y’all think the parents are gonna get justice? Or will TikTok win this case?
