AI Summary
TikTok employees repeatedly warned the company that the platform posed risks to children, citing concerns such as sexual exploitation and exposure to suicide‑related content. Court records obtained by NPR show staff grew frustrated with executives’ responses, which they say failed to address the warnings. Depositions from employees filed in March 2026 provide new details about the platform’s child‑safety practices. The filings suggest a disconnect between internal alerts and corporate action regarding these safety issues.
