Taking her cue from past Massachusetts attorney generals, disappointing Democratic AG Andrea Campbell is back to filing frivolous lawsuits wasting taxpayer time and money.

Campbell, who previously has largely been rarely seen or heard in public, apparently learned from Maura Healey who lobbed more than 100 lawsuits at Donald Trump that served no one in Massachusetts.

Now, of all things, rookie AG Campbell is going after that existential threat Tik Tok, known for funny videos geared toward teenagers.

What next, Elon Musk and X?

“Massachusetts will not tolerate a future where companies exploit the vulnerabilities of young people for profit,” Campbell said in a news release announcing the state was joining the multi-state lawsuit.

“Today’s lawsuit further demonstrates my office’s focus on the wellbeing of our children by laying out arguments that Tik Tok, primarily driven by greed, designed technology that leads young people to become compulsive and addicted users of the platform, harming their wellbeing and contributing to the ongoing youth mental health crisis across our country.”

Wow. That’s quite a stretch.

Of all the problems in this state, like the scourge of drugs, violence in public schools and state police corruption, we’re spending our time on this? A political publicity grab?

Why are we paying an Attorney General for that? Are people on the street talking about the threat of Tik Tok?

Campbell, like Healey, is clearly trying to make a name of herself nationally and placate parents who are worried about their kids’ social media use. It’s a safe issue. Who will defend Tik Tok?

Campbell, a former Boston city councilor who came into office two years ago with great fanfare, has done nothing up until now except forcing the MBTA housing law down the throats of communities.

The AG office was a consolation prize after she was defeated in the Boston mayoral race. But she’s fallen flat.

What major initiative has she launched? Is she going after public corruption in the Legislature? Or the big utilities?

In her inaugural address, Campbell promised to increase the office’s accessibility and take on the powerful.

“If Massachusetts is going to be the leader it has always been, then we must do more with a sense of boldness, urgency and take risks,” she said.

Like shutting down a social media site?

“We can take on corruption, and hold those who misuse positions of trust or taxpayer dollars accountable for their actions,” she said.

Instead, Campbell has launched no new major corruption investigations, which Massachusetts is ripe for.

Two years into her term, the best you can say about Campbell is that she’s been disappointing.
