The chokehold challenge, also known as the blackout challenge, has led to the deaths of at least seven teenagers around the world. The parents of the victims have joined in a lawsuit against TikTok, accusing the service of failing to filter downloads and allowing children to create and view deadly challenges.
The essence of the blackout challenge is to tighten your belt around your neck. Of course, with the popularity of the challenges, there were also those who did them alone without a safety net.
In response to the lawsuit, TikTok told The Washington Post that access to the dangerous challenge was closed, and upon requesting c with their name, users saw a fictitious warning screen.
The parents of the victims object that their children were not looking for the challenge, as suggested by the application in the recommendations “for you”
This is not the first lawsuit against TikTok. In 2019, the company paid nearly $6 million for allowing users under the age of 13 to self-enroll without parental permission. And just a year later, the app introduced a family pairing mode, which will allow parents to connect their accounts with children’s accounts and track what and how long they watch TikTok.
