FORT WAYNE, Ind. (NETWORK INDIANA) — The Indiana Court of Appeals has overturned a ruling by an Allen County judge that threw out a lawsuit against TikTok filed by the state.
The judge agreed with TikTok that the state failed to make a claim of a “consumer transaction” between them and end users under the state’s Deceptive Consumer Sales Act.
The Indiana Court of Appeals, however, ruled the state does have “specific personal jurisdiction” over the social media app due to millions of users in the state and TikTok reporting 46-million-dollars in income from Hoosiers in 2021.

I hope Hoosiers are paying attention to the despicable rulings of certain county judges in this state. It is time to vote some of them OUT! Just like federal judges, some are making it up as they go along. Their record of being overturned should be top of mind when voting on them. I knew a County Attorney that once told me that judges are lawyers that coundn’t make it in private practice. Remember that when considering a candidate for judge in your county.
