The US Justice Department is dropping one of two proposed claims against ByteDance Ltd.’s TikTok, planning to focus a consumer protection lawsuit later this year on children’s privacy instead of allegations the video-sharing platform misled consumers about their data security. The Justice Department will proceed with allegations that TikTok violated the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, while dropping the claim that TikTok failed to inform consumers about access to their personal and financial information by Beijing-based employees of its parent company, ByteDance.
