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.
i mean, yeah, but also kids are going to figure out how to get on the more accessible parts of the internet that we really would prefer they don’t go on. there’s part of me that thinks yeah, make a law but make it toothless, so you have to earn your porn. learn how to vpn or tor or whatever. computer illiteracy is a problem.
Your same argument can be used about kids figuring out about getting around the show a government i.d. to access “adult sites”
i’m glad we’re agreeing. i think. kids need to learn how to get around government id checks
Yes that will make the world a better place and usher in a new era /s
