New York Attorney General Letitia James and 13 other Attorneys General filed suit in October 2024 against TikTok “for misleading the public about the safety of its platform and harming young people’s mental health.” TikTok moved to dismiss the case and, on May 28, 2025, New York Supreme Court Judge Anar Rathod Patel denied the motion.
The denial of TikTok’s motion to dismiss allows the New York case to move forward and serves as precedent for TikTok’s other efforts to dismiss the cases filed by over a dozen Attorneys General nationwide.
