TikTok, acuzat că a păcălit mii de utilizatori, inclusiv copii, cu funcții de siguranță false. Ce arată documentele din instanță

TikTok faces allegations of conducting secret experiments on users, including minors, regarding a safety feature that was ineffective. Legal documents reveal that the company tested a function called 'Algo Refresh' but misled users about its effectiveness. Some users received a functional version while others were given a placebo, leading to unchanged content recommendations. An internal employee raised concerns about the ethical implications of these tests, but TikTok continued the experiments. The company denies the allegations, asserting that user safety is a priority and that testing new features is standard practice. TikTok previously settled a similar lawsuit for $300 million in Alabama.
