Texas Becomes First State to Hold TikTok Liable for Child Safety Hazards
· Texas Border Business
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has achieved a significant legal milestone by making Texas the first state to hold TikTok accountable for child safety issues. In a lawsuit filed in January 2025, Paxton accused TikTok of misleading parents about the safety of its platform and exposing children to inappropriate content. A District Judge ruled that TikTok misrepresented its safety standards, as harmful content remained accessible to minors even in 'Restricted Mode.' Paxton vowed to continue pursuing legal action against TikTok and other social media platforms that endanger children. A trial is anticipated next month to determine penalties.
