The group of Republican state attorneys general has sent letters asking Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook to change the social media app’s ratings from current ones indicating it’s appropriate for teens, as it frequently contains adult content. (The Wall Street Journal)

Talking point: They warned the tech giants they may take legal action if the companies don’t comply. Google and Apple didn’t respond to The Wall Street Journal’s request for comment. TikTok said “one of our most important commitments is supporting the safety and well-being of teens.” TikTok, whose parent company ByteDance is based in Beijing, has seen multiple efforts this year to scale back its reach, including lawsuits and restrictions on use by state agencies. On Tuesday, Senator Marco Rubio announced bipartisan legislation to ban the app, and to block transactions from any social media company under the influence of China or Russia, over national security fears.
