Lilou Death and TikTok Recommendation Algorithm Lawsuit in France
Lilou, a 14-year-old living near Gap in France’s Hautes-Alpes department, died on April 23, 2023. Her mother Martine Guerini joined Algos Victima’s litigation and alleged TikTok’s recommendations repeatedly exposed her daughter to harmful videos. This is a documented family claim, not a judicial finding of algorithmic causation.
