COPPA is pretty straight forward — the tl;dr is that websites are not allowed to collect personal info from children under age of 13.
If TikTok have users under the age of 13, and they’re profiling those users the same as they are with adult users (adult users of TikTok? This sounds so weird and foreign to me; I must be too old), then they’re in hot water. I don’t see how there’s any minority report style of thought crime going on here. It’s pretty cut and dry…
Did some LLM put together minor and report and decide it was a minority report?
That explains it. I read the title and wondered how they are doing prethought crime.
In the article the DOJ say that they have evidence that either Tiktok has committed a crime, or will soon commit a future crime, hence minority report
