    Yes but unlike Facebook and other platforms, Tik Tok is aimed at and consumed by minors specifically.

          Source? Examples?

          I tried googling, can’t find anything that supports these claims

          Edit: third party advertisers abusing tiktoks advertising algorithms is not on topic to the original comment that tiktok itself specifically targets children, and tiktok has addressed these issues.

          You can downvote all you want, but I’ve still not been provided any proof that tiktok specifically targets or intends their platform to be for children.

          I’m not dismissing the original claim. I’m genuinely curious, but I need logical discourse, not users with mental illness going off on complete tangents.

          If you have any cognitive thought or opinionated source that tiktok is a bad faith actor towards the safety or health of children, I’d love to read it. My company builds software, so knowing the failings of tiktok to protect children is in my interest.

              Unrelated to original comment

              Please find two brain cells to rub together to understand the context of the original comment. You’ve gone on a complete nonsensical tangent akin to mental illness

                I have to say they provided a lot of links and were unable to show anything relevant so i was tempted just to assume they’re crazy but I try not to base anything on crazy people even negatives so I looked it up

                Looking at TikTok creator ages, figures are skewed towards a younger demographic. Young adults (18-24 years) make up over half of the creators (52.83%). While under 18s make up a comparatively low 27.47%

                I don’t know how accurate these are but the article said they’re sourced from tiktok

                A lot of people want a big bad to blame for everything and tiktok is it for a lot of people, but yeah I don’t really think their claim is correct
