Utah is the latest state to file suit against TikTok, alleging the social media site misled its citizens about its relationship to its Chinese parent company and deceptively touted its platform as safe.

Arkansas and Indiana have already sued TikTok, while Montana has banned the app entirely, a move TikTok and creators are challenging. State action against TikTok contrasts with stagnation in Washington, where legislation that could ban the app has stalled despite bipartisan support. Given the difficulty of moving legislation through Congress, states have taken the lead on many tech policy issues.

In announcing the lawsuit Tuesday, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox cited recent research about the impact of social media on adolescents, including a report from the Department of Health and Human Services.

In a statement, Cox said that social media companies should be held accountable for their harmful behavior.

TikTok has industry-leading safeguards for young people, including an automatic 60-minute time limit for users under 18 and parental controls for teen accounts, a TikTok spokesperson said in response to the lawsuit. “We will continue to tackle industry-wide challenges to keep our community safe.”

The fact that TikTok is owned by a Chinese company has caused many government officials to express concerns about it. Due to Chinese law, companies based in the country could be forced to hand over internal information if the government cites national security concerns.

However, the lawsuit focuses on features such as TikTok’s vertical swipe to load new videos, comparing it to a slot machine that keeps users hooked.
