Attorney General Keith Ellison on Tuesday announced a lawsuit against TikTok, alleging the video and social media giant is violating the state's laws and "preying on Minnesota's young people" through intentionally manipulative and deceptive practices.

The state of Minnesota is taking TikTok to court over the app's alleged violation of its consumer protection laws.

Minnesota has joined a wave of states suing TikTok, claiming the app uses addictive algorithms that harm young people's mental health.
