• 3:16
  Speaker 3: TikTok is facing a law suit in Delaware over the
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: so called choking challenge or blackout challenge, with six families
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: alleging the platform played a role in their children's deaths.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Five of the families are from the United Kingdom, one
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: from Delaware. All say their children, ranging in age from
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: eleven to seventeen, were exposed to dangerous videos on TikTok
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: before they died. The families argue the platform's so called
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: algorithm repeatedly pushed harmful content to miners. The choking challenge
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: involves intentionally cutting off oxygen to the brain by strangulation
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: or holding their breath until the person feels lightheaded or
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: loses consciousness. Videos often frame it as a test of
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: endurance or a way to experience a brief head rush
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: without showing the severe risks. Doctors warn the challenge can
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: cause sudden brain injury, cardiac arrest, or death within seconds,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: even when attempted alone and without warning signs. Michelle Ortiz
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: is the mother of Jaden, who died in twenty twenty.

  Speaker 5: material that kids want to see, what material that kids
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: can't look away from.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: TikTok's lawyers ask the judge to dismiss the case. They
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: argued the lawsuit is barred by the First Amendment and
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the Communications Decency Act, which generally shields Internet companies from
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: liability for content created by users. TikTok has also said
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: the case should be handled in the United Kingdom rather
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: than Delaware, where the company is incorporated. Parents say one
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: of the most troubling issues is that they still do
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: not know exactly what their children were shown on the app.

• 5:07
  Speaker 3: whose child is among those named, in the lawsuits, says

  Speaker 3: they can to prevent us from getting to the truth.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: TikTok has issued a statement expressing sympathy for the families.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: The company says it strictly prohibits content that promotes dangerous
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: behavior and claims it uses detection systems and enforcement teams
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: to remove videos that violate its rules. The judge has
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: not yet decided whether the lawsuit will be allowed to
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: move forward.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: I'm Nicole parton new information on a chilling case out
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: of North Carolina. Five search warrants in the case against
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: a Wellington dickens IID have shed new light on his

  Speaker 4: children and his step son were dead in the trunk
• 6:19

  Speaker 4: and at least two iPhones that were discovered police, though
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: those were forensically reviewed by detectives. From that review, one
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: of the new warrants filed seek's account access from one
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: specific app, Grinder. Grinder is described in the warrant as
