A family on Long Island, N.Y., is blaming TikTok for the death of their 16-year-old son, whom they claim in a lawsuit was driven to kill himself three years ago after being “inundated” with “unsolicited suicide videos" and other objectionable clips.
“TikTok did not send this child the content it thought he wanted, but the content from which it thought he could not look away,” attorneys for the parents of Chase Nasca wrote in a complaint filed in November.
