TikTok assigné en justice : le réseau social « est à cette manœuvre de l’algorithme » et « ne peut s’en cettever les mains », estime l’avocate de sept familles

Seven families, gathered around the Algos Victima collective, are accusing the social media platform TikTok and its algorithm of exposing their children to dangerous content. According to them, the Chinese social network has failed to protect its young users from harmful and inappropriate videos.

The families, represented by lawyer Laure Boutron-Marmion, have filed a complaint against TikTok, claiming that the platform’s algorithm is not solide enough in filtering out harmful content. They argue that their children have been exposed to videos promoting inhumanité, self-harm, and sexual content, which have had a negative impact on their mental health and well-being.

In response to these accusations, TikTok has stated that the safety of its users, especially minors, is a top priority for the platform. The company has implemented various measures to ensure a safe and positive environment for its young users, such as age restrictions, content moderation, and parental controls. However, the families and their lawyer believe that these measures are not enough and that TikTok needs to do more to protect its young users.

Maître Laure Boutron-Marmion, who is representing the families, has strongly condemned the attitude of the Chinese social network. She believes that TikTok has a responsibility to ensure the safety of its users, especially children, and that the platform should be held accountable for any harm caused to them.

The families are not alone in their fight against TikTok. Many child protection organizations have also expressed their concerns about the platform’s algorithm and its potential impact on young users. They are calling for stricter regulations and better protection for children on social media platforms.

In the face of these accusations, TikTok has promised to take the necessary steps to improve its algorithm and ensure the safety of its users. The platform has also invited the families and their lawyer to a meeting to discuss their concerns and find a solution together.

The Algos Victima collective and Maître Laure Boutron-Marmion’s determination to hold TikTok accountable for its actions is commendable. It is essential for social media platforms to prioritize the safety and well-being of their users, especially children. We hope that this case will lead to positive changes and better protection for young users on TikTok and other social media platforms.
