Supreme Court OKs Trial for Indiana Consumer Litigation Against TikTok App
- On June 30, 2025, the Indiana Supreme Court chose not to dismiss two lawsuits initiated in 2022 by the state’s Attorney General, Todd Rokita, targeting TikTok and its parent company ByteDance in Fort Wayne.
- Rokita’s lawsuits allege that TikTok violated Indiana’s Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by misrepresenting age-appropriate content and failing to safeguard user information from access by the Chinese government.
- The lawsuits, initially dismissed by lower courts, moved forward after the Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed state jurisdiction and the Supreme Court voted 3-2 against dismissal.
- State lawyers, including Solicitor General James Barta, contended that TikTok utilizes daily data transfers to create engaging content tailored to users’ locations, generating millions of dollars annually from data collected from Hoosier residents.
- This ruling allows proceedings to continue, reflecting significant state interest in protecting consumers from deceptive practices despite jurisdictional and federal law debates.
