Seven families have filed a joint legal complaint against TikTok in France, accusing the video platform of exposing their teenage children to content about suicide, self-harm, eating disorders and other mental health problems that they argue encouraged them to hurt themselves.

I heard that they don't have similar problems in China, because they've made laws against it.
Why can't we do that here in EU?

oh, I see, so this is the European version of https://www.techdirt.com/2024/10/09/a-whole-bunch-of-states-file-garbage-grandstanding-lawsuits-against-tiktok-with-the-main-complaint-being-kids-like-it/ (except France doesn't have a First Amendment so it is worse)

I wonder whether we will ever achieve a society in which we trust everyone, including young people, to know what's good for them and what not by themselves.

Until then I can only read https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence and cry about how that has turned out.
