ByteDance, the company that owns TikTok, is facing a class-action lawsuit over its CapCut video-editing app. The lawsuit, filed in Illinois, claims that CapCut is collecting data from its more than 200 million active users without consent, including face scans, voiceprints, location data, and more. The app is also accused of violating the state’s Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by collecting biometric data without informing users or obtaining express permission.
