Brazil First Lady Complains to Xi About TikTok’s Effects on Kids

  • On May 14, 2025, Brazil's First Lady Rosângela Lula da Silva raised concerns about TikTok's effects on children during a Beijing state dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
  • Her concerns followed a 2024 incident where an eight-year-old Brazilian girl died after attempting a dangerous TikTok challenge involving aerosol inhalation.
  • Rosângela criticized TikTok's algorithm for promoting harmful content such as risky challenges and extreme political views, echoing global worries and US scrutiny of the platform.
  • The European Union fined TikTok 530 million euros in May 2025 for privacy violations related to data transfers to China, while several countries have imposed temporary bans on the app.
  • Rosângela's remarks risk straining Brazil-China relations as China remains Brazil’s largest trading partner, but she continues advocating for stronger social media regulations protecting youth and society.
