"American Justice" falls claim that "Tik Talk" is accused of misleading users

The US Department of Justice will not possess the “Byeedance Ltd” business that has the “Tech Talk” application over the allegations that are deceived according to the US users about the safety of their data in an upcoming lawsuit that the company also violated from the privacy of children, according to persons who are familiar with persons. The ministry is ready to file a lawsuit related to the protection of the consumer against ‘Tok Tok’ later this year on behalf of the US Federal Trade Committee reached in the case, according to the people who asked not to reveal their identity during discussions between government agencies. The Federal Trade Committee gave a reference to the Ministry of Justice consisting of two parts. The Ministry of Justice plans to abandon one part of the complaint in which he claims that ‘Tok’ tok ‘US users are misleading by not informing them that employees in the parent company’ byte ‘, based in Beijing, have access to their personal and financial information, while the plan of the ministry also moves forward in the investigation that the company has violated the company of the age of 13. Continuous battles faced the ‘Tech Talk’ application with large audit about the safety of user data and the ratio of its mother -in -law “byte -dance” with the Chinese government. Last April, President Joe Biden signed a law prohibiting the application unless it was sold within a year, but the company challenges this law by filing lawsuits before the courts. The US Department of Justice has refused to comment on the decision to abandon the allegations of misleading “Tek Tok” for users on data privacy. The Federal Trade Committee also refused to comment on the decision of the US Department of Justice. What are the consequences of the expected ban on the United States? When the US Department of Justice represents another agency in court, it has the authority to define the best litigation strategy to ensure that there is no conflict with problems with national security or other cases. “In accordance with our usual approach, the US Federal Trade Committee has consulted in advance about this reference, and will continue to do so while looking at allegations. As always, the ministry will be led by facts and right, as well as our responsibility to protect the US population.” Internal tensions in the event that the Federal Trade Committee imposes financial fines – such as cases to violate a company for a settlement agreement – the case must refer to the Justice Ministry for plea. The same goes for the cases in which the Federal Trade Committee is being investigated under federal laws on consumer protection on the privacy of children on the Internet. The Trade Committee recommended that “Tick -Tok” sued the two offenders and took the unusual step to declare its reference to the public on June 18. The differences between the Federal Trade Committee and the Ministry of Justice in the recent consumer protection issues that include the “Amazon” and “Meta platforms” businesses were the presence of possible tension between the two agencies. Previous settlements, in 2019, paid ‘Tok’ $ 5.7 million to resolve similar allegations from the Federal Trade Committee and indicate that it collected personal information from children illegally. Within the provisions of the settlement, the company agreed to submit annual reports at the agency on data collection and compliance with the agreement. These reports helped achieve the current issue. The consumer protection arm in the US Department of Justice has a 45 -day deadline deadline from the date the Federal Trade Committee is referred to a decision on the desire to litigate or return the matter to the committee. Usually, the ministry chooses to take over the matter because it can hold up to 3% of the civil sanctions it gets. Earlier this year, the Federal Trade Committee asked Congress to amend it in its own affairs and allow it to say that the process of referring to the Ministry of Justice is “very flawed.”
