Court records obtained by NPR reveal that TikTok employees repeatedly warned the company about child safety risks on its platform, including minors bypassing age-restricted content and appearing in what is described as “transactional sexual content,” but executives allegedly failed to act on those concerns. The depositions, filed in federal court in March, are part of a multi-district litigation launched in 2022 that consolidates hundreds of lawsuits against TikTok, Meta, Snap and other social media companies over youth safety.

TikTok has permanently suspended the advertising account for "Musk," a documentary about Elon Musk directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, according to reports. The film's distributor, Bleecker Street, was notified of the suspension on Friday, with TikTok citing the account's political content as the reason.
