Utah ’s governor and attorney general announced a lawsuit against the social media giant, alleging TikTok has ignored livestreams where youth are pushed to perform sexually suggestive acts for gifts and money.In Utah 's second suit against TikTok, which relies on original Forbes reporting, the state alleges that TikTok Live is"a seedy underbelly of sexual exploitation.
In another, a teen slowly cut off her shirt with a pair of scissors as an audience of 3,000 egged her on. “IF U DO THE BLACK PART IM GONNA SEND TIKTOK LIVE 35.000 TIKTOK COINS ,” one commenter wrote, urging her to snip her bra. On other TikTok streams, often filmed from girls’ bedrooms and bathrooms, they were offered financial rewards if they’d kiss each other or spread their legs for the camera.
The Utah AG’s office later brought the suit “to stop TikTok’s exploitative monetization scheme and protect Utah youth,” the complaint said. It also alleged that TikTok is not, as is required by federal law, registered with the U.S.
