On October 11, 2024, following the filing of a lawsuit against TikTok by the Kentucky Attorney General, Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), who authored the bipartisan “Kids Online Safety Act,” requested that TikTok CEO Shou Chew provide all “documents, communications, and research held by TikTok regarding the safety of minors on its platform.” The request is “in response to shocking revelations of TikTok’s awareness of, and indifference to, its platform’s substantial harm to children and teens.” The letter specifically requests that TikTok provide the Senators with the “documents and information  previously produced to the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office and other states Attorneys General.” TikTok is required to produce the documents by October 25, 2024.
