Reported Earlier, Attorney General Ken Paxton Sues TikTok For Sharing Minors' Personal Data In Violation Of Texas Parental Consent Law
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued TikTok, one of the largest social media platforms, for operating its platform in a manner that puts the online safety and privacy of Texas children at risk and violates the Securing Children Online through Parental Empowerment ("SCOPE") Act.
德克薩斯州總檢察長肯·帕克斯頓起訴了TikTok,這是最大的社交媒體平台之一,因其以一種危及德克薩斯州兒童在線安全和隱私的方式運營平台,違反了《通過家長賦權保護網上兒童安全法》。
"I will continue to hold TikTok and other Big Tech companies accountable for exploiting Texas children and failing to prioritize minors' online safety and privacy," said Attorney General Ken Paxton. "Texas law requires social media companies to take steps to protect kids online and requires them to provide parents with tools to do the same. TikTok and other social media companies cannot ignore their duties under Texas law."
「我將繼續追究TikTok和其他大科技公司利用德克薩斯州兒童並未將未成年人的在線安全和隱私放在優先位置的行爲。」德克薩斯州總檢察長肯·帕克斯頓說,「德克薩斯法律要求社交媒體公司採取措施保護兒童在線,並要求他們向家長提供工具以達到同樣的目的。 TikTok和其他社交媒體公司不能忽視他們根據德克薩斯法律的職責。」
To protect Texas children from harms associated with social media, the SCOPE Act prohibits digital service providers, such as TikTok, from sharing, disclosing, or selling a minor's personal identifying information without permission from the child's parent or legal guardian. Further, the SCOPE Act requires companies to provide parents with tools to manage and control the privacy and account settings on their child's account. TikTok has failed to comply with these requirements.
爲了保護德克薩斯州兒童免受與社交媒體相關的危害, SCOPE法案禁止數字服務提供商(如TikTok)在未經兒童父母或法定監護人允許的情況下分享、披露或出售未成年人的個人身份信息。此外, SCOPE法案要求公司向家長提供管理和控制其子女帳戶隱私和帳戶設置的工具。 TikTok未能遵守這些要求。
Attorney General Paxton is seeking civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation and injunctive relief to prevent future violations of the SCOPE Act by TikTok.
帕克斯頓總檢察長尋求每次違規最高達1萬美元的民事處罰,以及禁令敦促TikTok未來不再違反SCOPE法案。
