Florida's attorney general sued TikTok on Monday over claims it is violating the state's law barring social media platforms from allowing children under age 14 to create accounts.
The lawsuit, filed in state court in St. Lucie County, accuses TikTok of violating the law by allowing underage users to access the platform and misrepresenting the amount of violent or sexual content young users can be exposed to.
TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The lawsuit seeks a court order directing the platform to make changes to bring it into compliance with the law, as well as financial damages.
This is not the first time Florida has taken action against social media companies over child safety concerns. In 2025, Florida sued Snap, the owner of Snapchat, accusing it of illegally employing features that addict children and opening accounts for children aged 13 and younger.
