Despite platform’s limits on adult content, study finds it not only accessible but often suggested
TikTok has directed children’s accounts to pornographic content within a small number of clicks, according to a report by a campaign group.
Global Witness set up fake accounts using a 13-year-old’s birth date and turned on the video app’s “restricted mode”, which limits exposure to “sexually suggestive” content.
Researchers found TikTok suggested sexualised and explicit search terms to seven test accounts that were created on clean phones with no search history.
Daily reminder to stop using TikTok 🤗
ok thanks
applies to most for profit social media
Social media is pretty unhealthy, honestly. Especially when used excessively, no matter if it’s for profit or not.
Even non-social media. Find some local newspaper that can’t afford a website but cares about their readers
I didn’t look back after switching to rednote the first time Tiktok was threatened.
I wouldn’t exactly put any trust in rednote either
If they showed millions of children pornography, the CEO would probably be in prison.
As for rednote being used to amplify narratives supported by the CPC, as an American, that is preferable to any other sizable social media I have access to except discord, where the same occurs except at the behest of the US.
At least when I report nazis on xhs, they get banned.
