Part of the claim is that TikTok knew about this content being promoted and other cases where children had died as a result.
> But by the time Nylah viewed these videos, TikTok knew that: 1) "the deadly Blackout Challenge was spreading through its app," 2) "its algorithm was specifically feeding the Blackout Challenge to children," and
3) several children had died while attempting the Blackout Challenge after viewing videos of the Challenge on their For You Pages. App. 31-32. Yet TikTok "took no and/or completely inadequate action to extinguish and prevent the spread of the Blackout Challenge and specifically to prevent the Blackout Challenge from being shown to children on their [For You Pages]." App. 32-33. Instead, TikTok continued to recommend these videos to children like Nylah.
Do you think this should be legal? Would you do nothing if you knew children were dying directly because of the content you were feeding them?
