Bloomberg reports that the TikTok moderator, Candie Frazier, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit against the social media platform TikTok and its parent company ByteDance. Frazier claims that she has suffered psychological trauma from viewing disturbing graphics and videos, including instances of violence, school shootings, fatal falls, and fratricide. The lawsuit states that Frazier experiences trouble sleeping and has nightmares when she does sleep.
Fraser aims to include other Tiktok screeners in the class action, seeking compensation for psychological injuries and requesting the court to allocate medical funds for the moderator. Additionally, Fraser wishes to explore the concept of hosting on Tiktok.
