TikTok Inc. Chief Executive Chew Shou Zi should visit Connecticut to meet parents and teachers about “dangerous content” spreading on the social media platform, the state’s attorney general said.

In a letter posted on Twitter, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said a new “challenge” going viral on the app to “slap a teacher” is endangering educators.
