A U.S. appeals court has reinstated a lawsuit against TikTok filed by the mother of Nylah Anderson, a 10-year-old girl who died after attempting a viral 'blackout challenge' she saw on the platform. The court acknowledged that TikTok's algorithms could potentially contribute to liability by promoting dangerous content to young users. This decision partially overturns an earlier ruling that had dismissed the case under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which generally shields online platforms from legal responsibility for user-generated content.
