WASHINGTON, Dec 7 (Reuters) - Indiana sued Chinese-owned short-video sharing app TikTok on Wednesday over allegations that it is deceiving users about China's access to their data and exposing children to mature content.
The complaint added that inappropriate sexual and substance-related content can easily be found and are pushed by the company to children using TikTok.
A spokesperson for the video sharing app said it did not have a comment on the pending litigation.
TikTok has said the concerns prompting state bans were largely fueled by misinformation.
President Joe Biden in June 2021 withdrew Trump's executive orders that sought to ban the downloads and directed the Commerce Department to conduct a review of security concerns posed by the apps.
