NEW YORK — TikTok teams identified the harmful effects of its platform on young users but limited preventive measures so as to avoid a drop in traffic, according to internal documents revealed by a United States public radio station on Friday.
The documents, mentioned in a subpoena issued by Kentucky's attorney general, are part of a lawsuit filed by 13 states and Washington, D.C. that accuses TikTok of harming young users' mental health.
