Stephanie Mistre's 15-year-old daughter, Marie, died of suicide in 2021, and the grieving mom blamed TikTok for pushing content like suicide tutorials and methods, as well as encouraging users to go beyond "mere suicide attempts."

Apart from Stephanie Mistre, six other families are suing TikTok France, accusing the platform of failing to moderate harmful content and exposing children to life-threatening material.

The lawsuit alleges TikTok's algorithm is designed to trap vulnerable users in cycles of despair for profit.

Seven French families filed a lawsuit against TikTok, saying it led to the deaths of two teens after they found harmful content on the app.
