The justice department will not pursue allegations that TikTok misled US consumers about their data security in the forthcoming suit, but will instead charge the company of children’s privacy violations, the report said, citing people familiar with the decision.

The department plans to drop one part of the complaint, which claims that TikTok deceived US consumers by failing to inform them that China-based employees of its parent company would have access to their personal and financial information, according to the report.

The justice department, FTC and TikTok did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.

Earlier this week, Reuters reported that the FTC had referred to the justice department a complaint against TikTok and its parent over potential violations of children’s privacy.

Separately, TikTok and ByteDance on Thursday urged a US court to strike down a law they say will ban the popular short video app in the US on Jan 19 next year.
