Texas Judge Finds TikTok Liable for Deceiving Parents on Child Safety Filters
By TechShots Studio
A Texas state judge ruled that TikTok violated consumer protection laws by misleading parents about its safety settings. District Judge Cory Liu found that the platform's "Restricted Mode" failed to block explicit material and that internal policies allowed rule-breaking content to remain accessible to minors. The ruling establishes liability against TikTok, sending the case to trial to determine financial penalties and court-ordered remedies.
