    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The agency has issued a bizarre message about referring a complaint about the social media app to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

    Back then, the commission did find that the company was “aware that a significant percentage of users were younger than 13 and received thousands of complaints from parents” and issued a fine of $5.7 million.

    “We’re disappointed the agency is pursuing litigation instead of continuing to work with us on a reasonable solution,” a TikTok spokesperson said in an emailed statement Tuesday.

    We’re proud of and remain deeply committed to the work we’ve done to protect children and we will continue to update and improve our product.”

    In April, President Joe Biden signed a bill requiring the divestment of TikTok or else face a U.S. ban.

    The social app is on the 270-day clock to figure out something, or it could wait for the upcoming presidential election and hope Trump wins as he’s suddenly come around to support TikTok.
