New York AG Letitia James is using newly unsealed TikTok allegations to push for age verification digital ID on everyone.
The complaint says TikTok gave some users a fake “Algo Refresh” button that did nothing. It also says safety features were withheld from more than 10 million users. The remedy James wants is to check every New Yorker’s age.
TikTok allegedly gave more than 28,000 users a “reset your feed” button that did nothing. New York’s Attorney General says the fix is age verification for everyone. The company is accused of lying about safety and the proposed punishment is a face scan or ID check for you.
