Des Moines, IA- Top State officials have hired a Washington DC law firm to investigate the social media app Tik Tok.
Radio Iowa reports that The state’s Executive Council has approved a contract with Cooper and Kirk, a law firm that worked on the state of Indiana’s lawsuits against TikTok.
Indiana filed two lawsuits against TikTok in December, accusing the company of violating child safety and data security laws. Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird re-documented that the firm represents the State of Iowa in possible litigation against TikTok as well an investigation of the company.
In 2022, Governor Reynolds issued an executive order that bans Tik Tok from government devices, and also prohibits state agencies from having Tik Tok accounts.
