Michigan AG Nessel joins nationwide TikTok investigation
LANSING, MI — TikTok, the popular social media app, is the subject of a nationwide probe that has added Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel to its list of investigators. In a press release, Nessel mentioned the social media platform’s promotion to children despite its association with negative physical and mental health effects for young people. In May 2021, a bipartisan coalition of 44 Attorneys General urged Facebook to abandon its plans to launch a version of Instagram for children under 13. Leading the investigation into both Meta and Tik Tok are Attorneys General from California, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Vermont, as well as a broad group of Attorneys General nationwide.
