Yep, China doesn't view TikTok as safe or healthy for their own citizens. Instead their version promotes education, crafts, and well being. So they've know that it could hurt other people in the world(especially by previous mistakes from other platforms). They just really don't care.

I been always argue random people in Facebook All of them are 10 year old They always share about cringy thing, being no gf or bf and sad Boi feel heart broken.
The internet has NEVER been child-safe. Even pre-internet (BBS) days was not safe for children. As a child, I accessed much content intended for adults only. I did so over dialup, but graduated as technology advanced. Gen-X here, YOU WANT NO ADULT SUPERVISION? Puhleeze. The only thing that has changed is the speed, increased resolution, and the addition of content INTENDED for children.
Yeah, I mean, the internet is just 'the world', and 'the world' is not kid-safe, nor should it have to be. It's up to parents to ensure their children are accessing suitable content for their age, it's not up to anyone else.
Nothing has truly changed in the almost thirty years now sine the internet became available to the general public in 1995, in regards to the content available. You're right though about the speed and resolution changing and added content aimed at children. My daughter (thirty two now) was monitored when she was online, and where she went.
It is surprising how rarely people mention BBSs or the "information services" pre-Internet. There was plenty of adult content on every BBS I ever used as a teenager. They ran stories in the mainstream media back in the 1980s and 1990s about children being abducted and molested by strangers they met on BBSs. This is nothing new. Parents today are just lazy, they know the dangers but want electronic devices to babysit their children so they don't have to.
@@Dontstopbelievingman I'd argue "it takes a village to raise a child": Whilst I'm loathe to suggest government oversight, when you get down to brass tacks there are some common sense laws that could be put in place to protect our next generations. Perhaps failing to prevent your child from accessing harmful material should be a crime...
while I'd normally say that parents can't really hover over their kids constantly. This is an exception, either that, or the parents saw it, deleted it and then it got reuploaded by someone else
@@varietychan Well I have an app that has all the parental controls for my son's phone. But he is only 9, so idk if it would work on an older more tech savvy kid.
@@ebfromtha410"its cringe" is also a word trend that started becoming used more often around the rise of global internet users. its not even the grammatically correct way of saying that phrase.
The difference was that back in the day we all didnt have handheld 24/7 access to the Internet. We had the family computer sitting in a public, main room, usually easily monitored.
Omg I remember those days it was the best now since we got handheld shit with almost unlimited access to the internet the worlds gone to shit and the brain rot is real because now because of apps like twitter and shittok more people are becoming more sensitive and claim everything is racist all the time when they have no clue what those words mean just to sound special and shit when we need to limit peoples access to the internet and hopefully we can restore the world into a functional society again
I was born in ‘87 & had my own PC from 94 til now. Difference being my mom checked weekly through history & said I had 1 chance to have complete freedom. If I had been exposed or looked at anything like this, I would’ve lost it.
@@Coffee17990 Are you familiar with punctuation? The lack of it here adds quite the irony to your comments about "brain rot"; Perhaps instead you offer yourself as evidence?
Wow! What a serious problem! If only it had a simple solution like, oh, I don’t know, monitoring your kids internet activity/ not letting them have tiktok or social media in general
Parents are one thing, but that doesnt matter, parents or not, its still illegal, immoral, and a problem not unique to tiktok. Thats like telling parents "its a simple solution to just carefully cross pedestrian lines", and yet we still we have accidents with kids on pedestrian lanes.
Lots of top comments blaming parents.. you guys are ignorant of what has been going on - the founder of TikTok started boosting trends by directly contacting kids (8yr olds!!!) to help groom them for influencers. Watch the multi-part _Foundering_ podcast , they did a deep dive on TikTok's founding a while back, shocking and enlightening
@@winzyl9546crossing the street and showing your underage body on tiktok live for money is not comparable, this is not an issue for parents who are actual parents
exactly. though I will say that the internet has gotten super easy to access degenerate stuff even as a kid like VR chat: another similar solution though, don’t get kids VR headsets since you can’t monitor that. it’s actually surprising how many kids have VR headsets, like I’ve wanted one since the oculus rift came out (26 now) and I STILL don’t have one because I’ve had a hard adult life so far. so seeing all these kids on VR stuff is crazy
Even as a paranoid kid who followed what my parents told me, I still ran into bad stuff here and there without even seeking it. I couldn’t imagine how much crap some kids see without any self control. Especially with some of these modern apps.
Yeah, I remember searching up sth like 'Angry red dragon'. And idk if safe search was turned off or sth, but the 2nd row image was a blowjob. I was like 15 and I was terrified and that I'd get in trouble
As someone who WAS one of the kids w/o self control yeah no we're cooked. As a 13-yo i'm terrified for the even younger lads and lasses out there. This kinda exposure fucks you up, big-time, 100%. And even tho i think negligent parents are a big part of this, even doing everything right, things can still slip thru the cracks. Best solution is just don't let your kids have a device lol
Bro EXACTLY. Unfortunately I didn’t realize that I saw some stuff I really shouldn’t have seen at that age until I was much older (see: weird fetish art of characters I liked. Luckily I didn’t develop anything from it because it always freaked me out and gave me a weird feeling.)
@@cerubiaid The best solution is to just prevent this type of stuff from happening by dealing with those who do it. Torturing someone because they were too young to know what they were looking for is not something anyone should condone.
Mhmm, unless you know where to genuinely look for “safe spaces” even then if you do. Guaranteed there will always be degenerates on every platform to ruin it for everyone. 😂 Internet in a nutshell for the most part.
@@fifilurks It really depends on the person, I've been exposed to the internet with complete unrestricted access and still came out perfectly fine. My parents raised me well so there wasn't really much to worry about me on the internet. I know right from wrong, I know not to click random links, and I've honestly never entered my actual personal information anywhere on the internet. I've only ever used fake names and emails to the point I don't even have a personal email anymore
The internet never was safe from children. That's why teachers had an entire lab dedicated to computer education even in the first grade we had computers in the classroom but never allowed to use them unsupervised by the teacher or another adult. Even with secure servers and no connection to most websites students and other children could learn by word of mouth how to get past the rudimentary school or public library firewall to access whatever site they wanted. Horrifying to catch see a young boy watch pr0n on a public library computer whilst his mother left him unsupervised. When I told his mother she was just so dumbfounded and entirely shocked. This was back in 2004... it's never been safe. In modern day 2024 I have seen on twitch and reported child endangerment from the virtual tubing community. With my own eyes I caught a young boy with a voice changer str3aming to a creepy audi3nc3 or highly s3xual individuals whilst the young boy with a voice changer was using a 3d model with a large bust. It's disgusting man.
i have that as well back when i was at school in 2007, at my school we have computer room which isnt really computers but small laptops that is used for study and learn. We did kinda have some freedom but at the end its monitored with the main computer at the front of the class. I was actually one of the kids who opened up pr0n one time, but at that time i still dont know what it was, but thankfully i grew up well mainly due to my surroundings and environment. Its really wild to see that in 2024 not only parents nowadays think their kids can grow by themselves without any help, they also given basically doomsday devices without restrictions or even supervision from their parents. This issue not just happens in the western countries but everywhere, prob by parents who never wanted a child but decided to have unprotected creation without regards of what could happen, or there are other reasons as well but at the end of the day parents are the number one reasons why some kids turn out bad, since from the early years kids learn from their parents first before anyone else. If in the future these kids grew up we dont know what they will become, if the parents isnt stopping them first or help them and guide them to the right path
Ill be honest dude, ive been enveloped in vrchat for almost 5 years, since i was 16. I've seen the strip clubs, the sexwork, the drama, so listen; the amount of kids on the platform since the quest came out is Insane. The club and kink community in vrchat has had to evolve to keep them OUT. I've seen some public sfw clubs simply ask for a DOB, but a lot of them ID verify in a Discord server before you can even Join an event. Even then, public worlds have been dead or a cesspool- and the amount of predators on the platform has multiplied in the extremes- I see people get banned in so many communities every day for it or allegations. These kids are talking to REAL PEOPLE. THEY ARE CAPABLE OF SO MUCH. Putting your kid in a vr headset where you can't see anything going on, and they can talk to anyone, is just asking for them to get groomed. talking from experience. PARENT YOUR DAMN KIDS.
Also part of vrchat, i stay in worlds that require dob and kick/ban people who lie about their age and happily block any i think slip through. The social media site branded as a game has thousands of unsupervised children being funneled into situations that make grooming and exploitation likely. Despite the presence of law enforcement and a substantial portion of the community looking for predators.
I feel like even if I did show my id in a discord server or DM I feel like they fucking wouldn't believe me because I am legally 21 but the way I sound and the way I mentally act I sound like I'm 14 or 15 and I get kicked almost constantly because the way I sound like I never hit puberty before 😭. But besides that yeah people who are actually kids need to be careful and the parents need to monitor said children! 😨
Yeah. Most websites have me at January 1, 1950 cause it's easier than selecting the actual month and day. Just pick a year that makes you over 18 and call it a day. I'm 43 so what do I care. The only time I've put my REAL birthdate is for official stuff, like applying for a credit card or something.
I've listed myself as over a hundred on Steam a couple times IIRC simply to have fun with it needlessly asking for me age when I've already given it one in the past(eg, going to Skyrim's store page)
on god, it is just the worst app to ever exist. Tiktok has damaged society to such an extreme degree, it should have been banned way sooner. Too many pathetic and disgusting people on there throwing logic and reason out the window to do the worst challenges ever, while tiktok doesnt care about safety at all. They just want the money. It also sucks that they can get away with taking away people's data, if fines are just gonna be the only punishment, thats only a slap on the wrist.
I think its a double edge sword, it can be very good and informative, depending on which user and stuff. While the bad yeah there are many many more than the good. Even my grandma uses tiktok and she was able to use it well since she kinda knows the internet, albeit not very well but she has been using android for years better than my grandfather at times. So i think tiktok can be a very great app as long as you know what videos to look for, but for me im not a fan of tiktok mostly since i used twitter from 2015 til 2020 and i already feel out of it from social media apps
This was happening back when Tiktok was called Musically several years ago. In fact, it was a big part of the initial marketing. It's why you can't find most of its early marketing material anymore, because they've done a lot of work to hide their past of getting people onto the site by advertising with videos of little girls. Remember, the Musically app was initially just full of kids.
@@thedecider4755 It is bad. And so is every social media app. It's objectively been proven. And that passive aggressive reply of yours towards criticism not even aimed at you is a great showcase on how it rots emotional intelligence. You're addicted. Get off it.
I have a niece and she recently got a phone of her own. It was a gift for her grandma (not my mom) and i live in constant fear of her watching tiktok and the algorythm doing his shit and giving her softporn or so. THIS is a HUGE deal, Internet IS NOT SAFE for kids. Even for adults, you have people getting scammed everyday. I hope someday TikTok gets hacked and blown off the face of the earth, and the owners thrown in jail for life.
I really don’t understand why kids can’t just use their parents phones. Oh, maybe because their parents are on them 24/7 because they are addicts, so they cope and pretend it’s not a big deal? “Pour the boy one, let him learn, it will make a man out of him” all over again.
It’s just beautiful that this app isn’t outlawed, it’s amazing how much the Canadian and US Government cares about the children (they don’t, in fact they may like exploiting them)
Im sure that if you dug deep enough on any app it would be the same thing. UA-cam, Twitter, and Instagram all have cornagraphic content. Its not special to tick tock. You think the government really cares about children? Tik Tok is the only major app that is not owned by America. I'm guessing they just want control over the app.
@@Draconic_Incenerator yeah but I’m 100% they are bluffing since the CCP and the amount of citizens in Mainland China makes these people a ton of money, and companies care more about money than basic humanity.
yeah I've tried reporting it but the reports always get stuck in the review process (mods most likely can't see the photos especially if their on the web version of tiktok) so we will just have to wait until the trend dies down
I'll be honest, kids were never safe on the internet. But it is so much worse these days. I'm all for keeping kids off of social media until they are of legal age.
And you can’t even report those accounts because TikTok will just say something like no sensitive material detected, and you get a strike for “falsely reporting”
This isnt even a tiktok problem, this is a internet/parent problem. Tiktok is just another social media platform that suffers from the same problem that all others do.
Think we can solve this by saying no one under 18 on social media. Kids will make fake accounts and still use it. But any company can simply say we didn't know and boot that account.
Tiktok was designed to be predatory/bad for children's development. That's in part why the Chinese government funded its creation while outlawing it in China. The other part is about mass data collection, which our national security experts are warning about possible weaponization of, whatever that means.
@@zid9611 either that or all social media companies should be mandadated to make kid versions. Versions with no comments, and no dms. If they want to share they can do it through text or irl.
Imo It's both really. Tiktok has poor moderation via human or what is automated. I've seen some bizarre shit and hidden nudity and I don't even look for it. It's one of those clickbait things. Not to mention their algorithm is constant and will show you things you've never had any interest in. Only because it's trending. I've seen nudity in a sexual context unprovoked and it has a shit-ton of likes and comments. (Even the comments were like "TikTok moderation team sleeping"
@@zid9611 not sure why my comment was removed but this could be solved by forcing social media companies (like UA-cam has) to make a version for minors.
i was exposed to the worst of the internet as a kid entering his teenage years, back when you had to access it on a dial up modem. The internet was malicious back then for sure, but in some ways it felt un-targeted. Horrible shit was just uploaded, and kids could stumble across it and get caught in the crossfire. Not to say that there wasnt heinous things that were aimed specifically at kids, but that wasnt the norm imo. Its shocking to me that these days, as im nearing 30, that kids might not see the level of gore i was exposed to, but they can very specifically be exploited en mass by both digsusting internet perverts, and also by corporations that just download rot onto their brains. its LESS safe for kids now than it was at the dawn of the internet, purely because companies and monsters alike are able to purposefully target kids.
I feel like its fine in moderation or for some fun but not to just "get them off your back" or "shut them up" something like that... Real parenting is pretty rare now and it scares me for the future..
I hate that the Subway Surfers on the side still works on me, despite my conscious awareness of it being the virtual equivalent of jingling keys in front of a baby.
When I was still in high school (or earlier? Idr.) (I’m 28 now) I noticed that if a TV was showing things, it would draw my attention even if I specifically disliked the show it was showing, and came to kind of resent(? (Unsure of word choice)) TV for this… Maybe we should try to use e-ink displays instead? Idk.
Perhaps parents should, I don't know, NOT give their kids unlimited access to a social media platform before they're even in middle school? Just a thought. Dump TikTok. It won't be missed.
The thing about TikTok is that while I hate the effect it's had on society, like any social media platform, it has been important for helping people find others like them, not feeling so alone, mobilising against governments, creating social movements and allowing people in war-torn countries to communicate with others their age to show that these conflicts involve human beings. It's always a mixed bag. I don't have an answer. I personally refuse to ever use it again, it's just too addicting.
Chinese trying to use their non-existent imaginations: Oh no, sorry, Google, Facebook and Twitter are all blocked by The Great Internet Firewall hahahaha
its important to note that the publishers of this article have bought short stocks on Roblox alleging that they are heavily overvalued at 26 Billion... so they have an incentive for doing this research. Thats not to say it is wrong, just something to be aware of. With that said, a lot of this is true obviously. Thats unfortunately what happens on any platform targeted at kids and companies need to do a lot more to stop it.
Yes. That's how it should be. It may seem harsh to an outsider that you are forcing something onto your child that he/she doesn't want to, but in the end it is beneficial for everyone. Edit: Typo
Naw VRchat is worse than the GTA strip club. You go to VRchat specifically to talk to strangers, and you wouldn’t want your kid talking to real people at a strip club setting.
Legitimately. Parents. New parents. Stop being neglectful and raise your frickin kids. Watch what they watch and parental controls are good. It's not the government's job to protect your kids' access to stuff. That's just ASKING for bs regulation.
It's the entire reason why so many kids break down if they have devices taken away. It's not parents raising them, it's the internet... which is dangerous. Honestly, the sheer amount of neglectful parenting I see even in public spaces is concerning on so many levels. We might as well start building schools dedicated to parenting...
I grew up with my parents not knowing what the internet is, and now that I have kids I put every parental lock i can on every app or device i have. My parents didn't know about the horrors of shock, gore and IRC websites that I found just by clicking random links which at the time I wasn't informed not to click.
I’m still a teenager right now but do you think that will cause conflict with your kids and how do you think you’d balance that between gaining freedoms and having parental controls?
I've watched my university educated parents and siblings become increasingly stupid and conspiratorial over the last 10 years, all of them have facebook accounts and they've gone from being unique and intelligent people with diverse interests and individual pet peeves to a bunch of parrots with the same grievances, same catchphrases and same wilful ignorance relating to the same handful of topics they talk about. I had a dinner with my mother about 7 years ago. She asked me "If the ice in this glass melts, it's not going to make the glass overflow, is it? So why do you think 'climate change' is going to make sea levels rise?" So I took MY ice out of MY glass and put it on a saucer and held it angled so as the ice melted it ran into her glass. "OK so imagine the plate is Antarctica, and the ice cubes on it are the ice caps on the CONTINENT of Antarctica, which are on average nearly 2km thick and covers over three hundred million square kilometres of landmass that isn't in the ocean. What happens as the earth gets warmer, and that melts and run into your glass? Does the water level change?" Her reply? "Well we can't cause climate change anyway, only the sun can do that." SHE IS A SCHOOL TEACHER. 🤦♂
No, parent's need to watch their kids, and the feds running facebook need to stop allowing the exploitation, so they can blast people with propaganda, to try and get them to demand internet regulations.
funny that, Australia just enacted a law banning children from social media and apparently we're red china plus nazi germany combined with venezuela with a touch of 1984 meets idiocracy, if you ask the experts on my racist uncle's facebook feed, because free speech and the constitution (I'm Australian, so is he.)
The reason why TikTok a little bit better than UA-cam. It's because appealing system when you got strike either community guidelines or copy strike guidelines atleast transparent on TikTok. Non content creator can got money only watch the video around 15 to 90 minutes you already got money. On UA-cam for users non creator didn't even got any cents. I used to be hate TikTok because i didn't know non user can even got money. If only UA-cam care. They can make new policy that every non content creator (regular) user who watch video on UA-cam can get money. I'm no longer using TikTok. We can only wish
Meanwhile, the "family-friendly" UA-cam is hosting videos of Nicki Minaj and Cardi B showing us EVERYTHING in the most degenerate ways... and don't get us started on Reddit and Facebook...
Couldn't disagree more. There's a world of knowledge online. Removing all access to the internet would severely limit their experience of the real world and knowledge base. Internet safety and just some semblance of critical thinking should really be taught first, though. Sadly, nothing of the sort is done in school or at home for a large portion of kids..
@@FRanger92see there's things called "parenting" and "curation". Ad a parent your job is to look after your children and make sure they don't go on the wrong path. As for not allowing access to internet, I think the op meant not literally ban them from internet. Curate the internet for them. Let them access some websites that are educational and doesn't have literally porn on them. And if you "have" to use a website that might not be safe for them, sit with them and let them use it under supervision. That is what is called parenting. Not just feeding the child and giving them a place to stay and clothes to wear and money to study.
Things like this are why I think parents need to keep up to date with websites and social media so they know which ones to look out for and which ones they should probably put parental controls on. Tik Tok is mostly advertised towards teens, but the app is in a state where it really isn't safe for them at all. Especially considering some of the challenges and trends that pop up. I do hope that maybe Tik Tok implements some kind of restriction for underage accounts hosting LIVEs, though that might not do a lot since people can lie, so the parenting and moderation aspects are still the most important things. And unfortunately, not many parents seem to do that anymore.
It won't stop adults with VPNs from using it. But it will stop any child without a VPN. Also, any platform that is uninterested in policing CP deserves the ban. Stop defending such a terrible platform, trying to pretend they aren't as bad as you want to believe.
Glad I never came across weirdos in my younger gaming days, most my friends were around my age but I had a couple of older guys on my friends list but they were chill and just played halo or borderlands
I have adhd and have a delicate balance of stimulation/overstimulation and tiktok videos that have the like, games or asmr playing next to the actual content, make me physically feel sick. Idk how people can watch those, they drive me crazy and I have to like, look away so i can just focus on the voice. I dont use tiktok, and never have, but my husband does and he mostly watches food videos but even then he gets recommended some WILD shit that I would never see on youtube shorts. so idk, I think they need content restrictions of some kind
I feel that same way! I can’t do any type of short-form content because of how overwhelming it is. My friends don’t believe me when I say I’ve never used TikTok or ig reels.
TikTok is the foreign equivalent of sending your “”finest warrior”” to train your neighbouring country’s army intentionally wrong, so that when you spring a surprise invasion on them, you’re using ballistics and advanced military tactics, and they’re fighting you by throwing their hands around a bit then passing out with drunk Russian kung-fung.
I remember how I met a 13-15 year old years back who used peoples naughty images to sell to get art supplies. I dont know where they are anymore, and they're pretty much an adult by now
I left high school in 1989 and for the last 2 years of my high school I was a member of my high school's computer science class. In 1991 I gophered my first file from a Uni in belgium, to the 1.44 mb floppy at my friends computer lab in Australia and I realised that the internet would change the world. In 1998 I went back to Uni and started using Netscape Navigator Gold and I realised anyone could choose the breed of dog they wanted to pretend to be on the internet. At that point I started to catastrophise in my head what would happen next. I am genuinely sorry for thinking that everything that would happen next would work out for the best. It didn't and younglings like yourself are paying the blood debt for everything that happened after I and my ilk walked away and washed our hands.
Kids shouldn't be allowed on the app, but don't forget kids aren't born with a smartphone on their hands. So this is an issue that involves both TikTok AND the parents.
i never see any of this stuff on tiktok I only see Kpop boy groups, snakes and reptiles,horses, farming, cows, k9 cops and video game things. Do people go looking for these things? every now and then some random live pops up and i click uninterested. I never watch lives on tiktok. not my thing. i detest E-begging.
I think what doesn't help with all this is the lack of kid friendly sites available. I remember most of my online time as a child was on flash games in the pbs, playhouse disney, and nickelodeon websites. I'd play cool math games at school. I used to play Pixie Hollow Online. When I was VERY little I played on Purble Place. I think the death of flash and the sleek modernization or even deletion of these former havens of online play are absolutely part of the issue. Parents are mainly to blame, yes, but what sites are children even able to go to safely anymore?
I still run into 30-40 year olds who struggle to send an email, tech literacy is non-existent. You can tell them all the dangers but if they don't know how to use the damn thing, they won't be able stop their kids from watching anything.
Dude again with the parenting, you can not monitor your child 24/7. Even if lets say at home you can at school there will be other children that will show them disturbing content or sexual content. This is how we found out about porn games and other shit on the back in the day.
I will say, I was terminally online back in elementary school, started getting into club penguin blogging, online chat rooms, and twitter to promote my blog. Back then I would join a chat room and immediately be hit with a ton of horny bullshit people were saying in chat, people trying to talk to me to get me to do stuff. This would've been between 2005-2008 and I was very lucky for how naive I was. I was naive enough that when people hit me with the sus stuff I'd just tell them they were weird, but things were definitely bad back then and far less moderated than things are now. Only difference that makes it scarier now is that since everything has become moderated and clean generally, the bad folks have to get sneakier and more manipulative with it.
Roblox lets people run wild with botted instances, yet they don't even give two fscks towards Linux gamers. I don't even play Roblox, but I'm so pissed off for those that want to.
It is not the internet, onclud8ng sites and plataforms, to protect children on the internet. It is the parenta job. Children should not even be allowed in the internet to begin with but that is, again, the parents job not other people.
Wow, it is almost like kids should have never been allowed on it.
Yup. PARENTS need to keep their kids off things like this. Don't blame TikTok. Pay more attention to your children

They ran stories in the mainstream media back in the 1980s and 1990s about children being abducted and molested by strangers they met on BBSs. This is nothing new. Parents today are just lazy, they know the dangers but want electronic devices to babysit their children so they don't have to.

exactly. though I will say that the internet has gotten super easy to access degenerate stuff even as a kid like VR chat: another similar solution though, don’t get kids VR headsets since you can’t monitor that. it’s actually surprising how many kids have VR headsets, like I’ve wanted one since the oculus rift came out (26 now) and I STILL don’t have one because I’ve had a hard adult life so far. so seeing all these kids on VR stuff is crazy
Even as a paranoid kid who followed what my parents told me, I still ran into bad stuff here and there without even seeking it. I couldn’t imagine how much crap some kids see without any self control. Especially with some of these modern apps.
Yeah, I remember searching up sth like 'Angry red dragon'. And idk if safe search was turned off or sth, but the 2nd row image was a blowjob. I was like 15 and I was terrified and that I'd get in trouble

The internet never was safe from children. That's why teachers had an entire lab dedicated to computer education even in the first grade we had computers in the classroom but never allowed to use them unsupervised by the teacher or another adult. Even with secure servers and no connection to most websites students and other children could learn by word of mouth how to get past the rudimentary school or public library firewall to access whatever site they wanted. Horrifying to catch see a young boy watch pr0n on a public library computer whilst his mother left him unsupervised. When I told his mother she was just so dumbfounded and entirely shocked. This was back in 2004... it's never been safe.
In modern day 2024 I have seen on twitch and reported child endangerment from the virtual tubing community. With my own eyes I caught a young boy with a voice changer str3aming to a creepy audi3nc3 or highly s3xual individuals whilst the young boy with a voice changer was using a 3d model with a large bust. It's disgusting man.
How do you know it's a boy
@@Cristopherdreamer it was an obvious voice changer. I listen to alot of ASMR so I can tell.
i have that as well back when i was at school in 2007, at my school we have computer room which isnt really computers but small laptops that is used for study and learn. We did kinda have some freedom but at the end its monitored with the main computer at the front of the class. I was actually one of the kids who opened up pr0n one time, but at that time i still dont know what it was, but thankfully i grew up well mainly due to my surroundings and environment. Its really wild to see that in 2024 not only parents nowadays think their kids can grow by themselves without any help, they also given basically doomsday devices without restrictions or even supervision from their parents. This issue not just happens in the western countries but everywhere, prob by parents who never wanted a child but decided to have unprotected creation without regards of what could happen, or there are other reasons as well but at the end of the day parents are the number one reasons why some kids turn out bad, since from the early years kids learn from their parents first before anyone else. If in the future these kids grew up we dont know what they will become, if the parents isnt stopping them first or help them and guide them to the right path
Ill be honest dude, ive been enveloped in vrchat for almost 5 years, since i was 16. I've seen the strip clubs, the sexwork, the drama, so listen; the amount of kids on the platform since the quest came out is Insane. The club and kink community in vrchat has had to evolve to keep them OUT. I've seen some public sfw clubs simply ask for a DOB, but a lot of them ID verify in a Discord server before you can even Join an event. Even then, public worlds have been dead or a cesspool- and the amount of predators on the platform has multiplied in the extremes- I see people get banned in so many communities every day for it or allegations. These kids are talking to REAL PEOPLE. THEY ARE CAPABLE OF SO MUCH. Putting your kid in a vr headset where you can't see anything going on, and they can talk to anyone, is just asking for them to get groomed. talking from experience. PARENT YOUR DAMN KIDS.
Also part of vrchat, i stay in worlds that require dob and kick/ban people who lie about their age and happily block any i think slip through. The social media site branded as a game has thousands of unsupervised children being funneled into situations that make grooming and exploitation likely. Despite the presence of law enforcement and a substantial portion of the community looking for predators.
I feel like even if I did show my id in a discord server or DM I feel like they fucking wouldn't believe me because I am legally 21 but the way I sound and the way I mentally act I sound like I'm 14 or 15 and I get kicked almost constantly because the way I sound like I never hit puberty before 😭. But besides that yeah people who are actually kids need to be careful and the parents need to monitor said children! 😨

The only time I've put my REAL birthdate is for official stuff, like applying for a credit card or something.
I've listed myself as over a hundred on Steam a couple times IIRC simply to have fun with it needlessly asking for me age when I've already given it one in the past(eg, going to Skyrim's store page)

on god, it is just the worst app to ever exist. Tiktok has damaged society to such an extreme degree, it should have been banned way sooner. Too many pathetic and disgusting people on there throwing logic and reason out the window to do the worst challenges ever, while tiktok doesnt care about safety at all. They just want the money. It also sucks that they can get away with taking away people's data, if fines are just gonna be the only punishment, thats only a slap on the wrist.
Since 2017 People became Anti Tik Tokers like me
Looks like those people still living in 2019 lmao tiktok is good atleast it's better than yt shorts lol
There's a bunch of more reasons why people hate it
I think its a double edge sword, it can be very good and informative, depending on which user and stuff. While the bad yeah there are many many more than the good. Even my grandma uses tiktok and she was able to use it well since she kinda knows the internet, albeit not very well but she has been using android for years better than my grandfather at times. So i think tiktok can be a very great app as long as you know what videos to look for, but for me im not a fan of tiktok mostly since i used twitter from 2015 til 2020 and i already feel out of it from social media apps

guess that's a mobile feature. I never seen any images in the comments in desktop app and I am going to take that as a blessing.

Tiktok was designed to be predatory/bad for children's development. That's in part why the Chinese government funded its creation while outlawing it in China.
The other part is about mass data collection, which our national security experts are warning about possible weaponization of, whatever that means.
@@zid9611 either that or all social media companies should be mandadated to make kid versions. Versions with no comments, and no dms. If they want to share they can do it through text or irl.

Not to mention their algorithm is constant and will show you things you've never had any interest in. Only because it's trending.

i was exposed to the worst of the internet as a kid entering his teenage years, back when you had to access it on a dial up modem. The internet was malicious back then for sure, but in some ways it felt un-targeted. Horrible shit was just uploaded, and kids could stumble across it and get caught in the crossfire. Not to say that there wasnt heinous things that were aimed specifically at kids, but that wasnt the norm imo.
Its shocking to me that these days, as im nearing 30, that kids might not see the level of gore i was exposed to, but they can very specifically be exploited en mass by both digsusting internet perverts, and also by corporations that just download rot onto their brains. its LESS safe for kids now than it was at the dawn of the internet, purely because companies and monsters alike are able to purposefully target kids.
This is why I really dislike people who raise their kids with phones and tablets. :[
Exactly kids of any age shouldn't be given iPads or whatever until at least 16+ to limit the risk of child endangerment and other shit too
And then those types of parents can't understand why the child is having a meltdown without their device... A tablet is raising them, not the parents
I feel like its fine in moderation or for some fun but not to just "get them off your back" or "shut them up" something like that... Real parenting is pretty rare now and it scares me for the future..
And always allow their kids to leave the house to hangout with low life clout chasers that would do anything for fame

The thing about TikTok is that while I hate the effect it's had on society, like any social media platform, it has been important for helping people find others like them, not feeling so alone, mobilising against governments, creating social movements and allowing people in war-torn countries to communicate with others their age to show that these conflicts involve human beings.

Parents honestly need to watch their kids and put parent controls on everything
Legitimately. Parents. New parents. Stop being neglectful and raise your frickin kids. Watch what they watch and parental controls are good. It's not the government's job to protect your kids' access to stuff. That's just ASKING for bs regulation.
It's the entire reason why so many kids break down if they have devices taken away. It's not parents raising them, it's the internet... which is dangerous. Honestly, the sheer amount of neglectful parenting I see even in public spaces is concerning on so many levels. We might as well start building schools dedicated to parenting...
I grew up with my parents not knowing what the internet is, and now that I have kids I put every parental lock i can on every app or device i have. My parents didn't know about the horrors of shock, gore and IRC websites that I found just by clicking random links which at the time I wasn't informed not to click.
I’m still a teenager right now but do you think that will cause conflict with your kids and how do you think you’d balance that between gaining freedoms and having parental controls?
The internet isn't even safe for young adults rip or anyone
I'm nearly sixty seven and I can agree to a point with that. Gullibility knows no age limit.

They need to shut down tik tok and Facebook + instagram + Snapchat.
I've watched my university educated parents and siblings become increasingly stupid and conspiratorial over the last 10 years, all of them have facebook accounts and they've gone from being unique and intelligent people with diverse interests and individual pet peeves to a bunch of parrots with the same grievances, same catchphrases and same wilful ignorance relating to the same handful of topics they talk about. I had a dinner with my mother about 7 years ago. She asked me "If the ice in this glass melts, it's not going to make the glass overflow, is it? So why do you think 'climate change' is going to make sea levels rise?" So I took MY ice out of MY glass and put it on a saucer and held it angled so as the ice melted it ran into her glass. "OK so imagine the plate is Antarctica, and the ice cubes on it are the ice caps on the CONTINENT of Antarctica, which are on average nearly 2km thick and covers over three hundred million square kilometres of landmass that isn't in the ocean. What happens as the earth gets warmer, and that melts and run into your glass? Does the water level change?" Her reply? "Well we can't cause climate change anyway, only the sun can do that."
SHE IS A SCHOOL TEACHER. 🤦♂
Might as well shut down schools then. Cuz shootings happen... Ok kid
No, parent's need to watch their kids, and the feds running facebook need to stop allowing the exploitation, so they can blast people with propaganda, to try and get them to demand internet regulations.

Any app really....
My prediction is that Tik Tok will not exist soon
The reason why TikTok a little bit better than UA-cam. It's because appealing system when you got strike either community guidelines or copy strike guidelines atleast transparent on TikTok. Non content creator can got money only watch the video around 15 to 90 minutes you already got money. On UA-cam for users non creator didn't even got any cents. I used to be hate TikTok because i didn't know non user can even got money. If only UA-cam care. They can make new policy that every non content creator (regular) user who watch video on UA-cam can get money. I'm no longer using TikTok. We can only wish
Meanwhile, the "family-friendly" UA-cam is hosting videos of Nicki Minaj and Cardi B showing us EVERYTHING in the most degenerate ways... and don't get us started on Reddit and Facebook...

Internet safety and just some semblance of critical thinking should really be taught first, though. Sadly, nothing of the sort is done in school or at home for a large portion of kids..
Disagree. The internet is an essential tool that people can not afford to discard. An improvement in child safe modes and the like is what's needed.
No that’s not the answer. These apps shouldn’t be allowed tho
@@FRanger92see there's things called "parenting" and "curation". Ad a parent your job is to look after your children and make sure they don't go on the wrong path. As for not allowing access to internet, I think the op meant not literally ban them from internet. Curate the internet for them. Let them access some websites that are educational and doesn't have literally porn on them. And if you "have" to use a website that might not be safe for them, sit with them and let them use it under supervision. That is what is called parenting. Not just feeding the child and giving them a place to stay and clothes to wear and money to study.
Nobody's gonna acknowledge JoJo's Bizzare Strip Club at 1:44 ?
Things like this are why I think parents need to keep up to date with websites and social media so they know which ones to look out for and which ones they should probably put parental controls on. Tik Tok is mostly advertised towards teens, but the app is in a state where it really isn't safe for them at all. Especially considering some of the challenges and trends that pop up.
I do hope that maybe Tik Tok implements some kind of restriction for underage accounts hosting LIVEs, though that might not do a lot since people can lie, so the parenting and moderation aspects are still the most important things. And unfortunately, not many parents seem to do that anymore.
They actually do have an age restriction in place for livestreaming. You have to be 16, which isn’t great either but it’s better than nothing.
Because its malware just like fb Instagram and UA-cam. But worse.
Banning TikTok will not stop people from using TikTok. Either you need to be a parent, or don't let your kids use the internet.
It won't stop adults with VPNs from using it. But it will stop any child without a VPN. Also, any platform that is uninterested in policing CP deserves the ban. Stop defending such a terrible platform, trying to pretend they aren't as bad as you want to believe.

I have adhd and have a delicate balance of stimulation/overstimulation and tiktok videos that have the like, games or asmr playing next to the actual content, make me physically feel sick. Idk how people can watch those, they drive me crazy and I have to like, look away so i can just focus on the voice. I dont use tiktok, and never have, but my husband does and he mostly watches food videos but even then he gets recommended some WILD shit that I would never see on youtube shorts. so idk, I think they need content restrictions of some kind
I feel that same way! I can’t do any type of short-form content because of how overwhelming it is. My friends don’t believe me when I say I’ve never used TikTok or ig reels.
How is it already not gone completely?
Because if Tiktok were to be banned today, idiots will think the ban had something to do with Palestine even tho that's really not true at all
People like exploiting others for their own gains nowadays
I would say that tik tok and everyone who exploited them should go to jail
Remember when that French film maker tried to warn us all years back. And the only thing took away from it was, 'ew Netflix'.
TikTok is the foreign equivalent of sending your “”finest warrior”” to train your neighbouring country’s army intentionally wrong, so that when you spring a surprise invasion on them, you’re using ballistics and advanced military tactics, and they’re fighting you by throwing their hands around a bit then passing out with drunk Russian kung-fung.
I remember how I met a 13-15 year old years back who used peoples naughty images to sell to get art supplies. I dont know where they are anymore, and they're pretty much an adult by now
So the floor REALLY IS made of floor? WOW,, who would've thought?
My floor is actually made of linoleum on top of concrete.
2:10 i was that child 😭 😭 😭
I left high school in 1989 and for the last 2 years of my high school I was a member of my high school's computer science class. In 1991 I gophered my first file from a Uni in belgium, to the 1.44 mb floppy at my friends computer lab in Australia and I realised that the internet would change the world. In 1998 I went back to Uni and started using Netscape Navigator Gold and I realised anyone could choose the breed of dog they wanted to pretend to be on the internet. At that point I started to catastrophise in my head what would happen next. I am genuinely sorry for thinking that everything that would happen next would work out for the best. It didn't and younglings like yourself are paying the blood debt for everything that happened after I and my ilk walked away and washed our hands.
They should shutdown Fbook too !
If only parents actually parented their kids
Tf are they supposed to do never give their kid a phone?
The problem Is Gen Alpha now, parents now should educate The New Gen Beta kids now
@@OfficialAbjeer Why did you say ''tf are they suppose to do'' when you already knew the answer to that
The internet has never been safe for children since day #1
Kids shouldn't be allowed on the app, but don't forget kids aren't born with a smartphone on their hands.
So this is an issue that involves both TikTok AND the parents.
They’re giving the predators a hunting ground. Nice.
This been going on for years! TIKTOK DOESNT CARE MATE !!
The title has brought me immense joy.
I hate Tiktok, but the moment I heard the name Hindenburg Research I immediately got my guards up. This groups is as honest as Pinocchio and his nose.
i never see any of this stuff on tiktok
I only see Kpop boy groups, snakes and reptiles,horses, farming, cows, k9 cops and video game things.
Do people go looking for these things?
every now and then some random live pops up and i click uninterested. I never watch lives on tiktok. not my thing. i detest E-begging.
I think what doesn't help with all this is the lack of kid friendly sites available. I remember most of my online time as a child was on flash games in the pbs, playhouse disney, and nickelodeon websites. I'd play cool math games at school. I used to play Pixie Hollow Online. When I was VERY little I played on Purble Place.
I think the death of flash and the sleek modernization or even deletion of these former havens of online play are absolutely part of the issue. Parents are mainly to blame, yes, but what sites are children even able to go to safely anymore?
oh boy another tiktok controversy that will get swept under the rug!
The issues they listed are issues with all social media companies.
Another reason to ban it
I still run into 30-40 year olds who struggle to send an email, tech literacy is non-existent. You can tell them all the dangers but if they don't know how to use the damn thing, they won't be able stop their kids from watching anything.
Real the issue is if you don’t grow up around it and pay attention to it as it changes it’s hard to get people to understand unfortunately
The app starts with child controversies and loops back to it, always.
Nothing if value on TikTok. Torn between let it die & is this the first step in govt control of ISP content.
Funny how the western world still don't get that TikTok is literally a tactical Weapon.
If you jump on a subway, you're going to squish your lunch.
Great, since TikTok was never good for anyone really.
Dude again with the parenting, you can not monitor your child 24/7. Even if lets say at home you can at school there will be other children that will show them disturbing content or sexual content. This is how we found out about porn games and other shit on the back in the day.
Thanks Muta, very cool
I will say, I was terminally online back in elementary school, started getting into club penguin blogging, online chat rooms, and twitter to promote my blog. Back then I would join a chat room and immediately be hit with a ton of horny bullshit people were saying in chat, people trying to talk to me to get me to do stuff. This would've been between 2005-2008 and I was very lucky for how naive I was. I was naive enough that when people hit me with the sus stuff I'd just tell them they were weird, but things were definitely bad back then and far less moderated than things are now. Only difference that makes it scarier now is that since everything has become moderated and clean generally, the bad folks have to get sneakier and more manipulative with it.
For clarity 2005-2008 I was going between 7 and 10 years old
Kesha would like to say “No.”
Roblox lets people run wild with botted instances, yet they don't even give two fscks towards Linux gamers. I don't even play Roblox, but I'm so pissed off for those that want to.
Lets be real, the government actually likes this stuff.

Almost all issues related to children having internet access can be boiled to one thing: Bad parenting.
It is not the internet, onclud8ng sites and plataforms, to protect children on the internet. It is the parenta job.
Children should not even be allowed in the internet to begin with but that is, again, the parents job not other people.
