French lawmaker Arthur Delaporte asked prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against TikTok, alleging the platform deliberately endangered minors, according to France Info. His committee concluded TikTok harmed young users’ mental health, citing offenses like complicity and perjury by executives. TikTok rejected the claims, calling the findings misleading and noting its teen safety features. The probe follows lawsuits from families accusing TikTok of exposing children to harmful content. Recommendations include banning social media for youth under 15 years and curfews for teens up to 18 years.
