In this special bonus episode of The Weekly Congressional Report, we dive into the 14 lawsuits filed against TikTok by a coalition of state attorneys general, alleging that the platform’s addictive algorithms are contributing to a mental health crisis among adolescents. Led by New York and California, the lawsuits claim TikTok has violated state laws by misleading the public about the platform’s safety, particularly for young users. From harmful beauty filters to challenges that have resulted in injuries and even deaths, TikTok’s practices are coming under intense scrutiny.
Join Brian Barnes and AI hosts Avery and Iris as they break down the allegations, exploring how TikTok’s “For You” feed exploits the human brain’s dopamine response to keep users engaged—and how states are seeking accountability for the harm caused to young people. Whether you’re a concerned parent, a policy enthusiast, or a TikTok user, this episode sheds light on the growing legal battle against one of the world’s most popular social media platforms.
