Consider This from NPR

For the first time, internal TikTok communications have been made public that show a company unconcerned with the harms the app poses for American teenagers. This is despite its own research validating many child safety concerns. 
The confidential material was part of a more than two-year investigation into TikTok by 14 attorneys general that led to state officials suing the company on Tuesday. 
The lawsuit  against the popular video sharing platform claims it was designed to keep young people hooked on the service.  Documents uncovered by Kentucky Public Radio show that the company's internal research may help support this accusation.
