TikTok is being sued for wrongful death after two girls died trying to recreate a choking challenge. The lawsuit alleges the girls aged 8 and 9 were fed videos of the challenge by the app's algorithm. The suit alleges that the app's algorithm recommended videos of the strangulation challenge to the young girls. The police took Walton's phone and tablet, and later told her stepmother that she had been watching blackout challenge videos "on repeat," the suit says, according to the newspaper. "TikTok unquestionably knew that the deadly Blackout Challenge was spreading through their app and that their algorithm was specifically feeding the Blackout Challenge to children," the Social Media Victims Law Center's complaint claims, per the Los Angeles Times.
