Australia Proposes Law Allowing Users to Opt Out of Social Media Algorithms

North Carolina Supreme Court Hears Arguments in TikTok Lawsuit Alleging Harm to Children

TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, are seeking to dismiss the case in North Carolina, arguing the state lacks personal jurisdiction and that the case should be heard elsewhere, possibly in California where TikTok is based in the U.S., or in federal courts. The state argues that TikTok's use of algorithms to target North Carolina residents with customized content establishes sufficient jurisdiction.
