Abstract
Social media’s presence in people’s lives is more present today than it has ever been. While social media has many benefits to it, this specific means of communication has significant legal consequences associated with it as well, specifically users’ privacy concerns.
This note comparatively analyzes current data privacy laws within and outside the United States, while focusing on implications of these legislations on the popular social media platform, TikTok, by focusing on the recent class action: In Re TikTok. This note ends with a proposal for implementing a comprehensive federal data privacy regulation inspired by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation followed by the effects of this type of legislation in the United States.
