Attorney General Josh Shapiro issued a statement regarding TikTok and the impact it's having on the younger demographic.
Shapiro says the investigation is going to go into detail of TIkTok's harm to children who are on the platform on a daily basis.
"My job is to protect all Pennsylvanians, especially children, from online threats," said AG Shapiro.
"Parents and children deserve to know the risks associated with these platforms. And if TikTok is found to have prioritized business growth over the physical and emotional well-being of Pennsylvania's children, they will be held responsible for that."
This is not the first time TikTok was looked at on a scale such as the one Shapiro is focusing in on. In May of 2021, the Attorney General urged Facebook to abandon its plans to launch a version of Instagram for children under the age of 13.
In addition to Shapiro's team, Attorney Generals from California, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, Tennesse and Vermont are participating.
