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.

When i was younger i got my kicks from the murdoch press newspapers, smh, lock those things up
There’s porn on tiktok? Have I been missing out??
When conservatives run something, children get fucked.
But its ok. We are making adults provide ID so they can access adult material theyre legally allowed to access- UK government.
Daily reminder to stop using TikTok 🤗
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.

Even non-social media. Find some local newspaper that can’t afford a website but cares about their readers

Are we talking like actual porn on tiktok or just women dancing in bikinis? Because one of those used to be called the MTV channel, and the other was always being accessed by teens with a few clicks.
The search function immediately suggesting very rude videos and rude girls etc, probably softcore but weird to recommend to accounts set up as 13 year olds with age restrictions
Actual nudity was never allowed on tiktok. But kink is fine.
The difference I suppose is deliberately looking for it vs the algorithm feeding it to them
One more lever to force age verification / personal identification of users.
The problem is that they’re being served adult content despite the site knowing they’re underage, so age verification wouldn’t help at all… If anything, this is a demonstration as to why age verification isn’t a good solution.

Won’t stop surveillance state bad actors from arguing exactly the opposite, though.
You’re absolutely right, but it’s not like facts matter anymore in this regard.
That’s the new MAGA feature
I’m shocked! Shocked!
Guardian minimises Israeli genocide while holding Russia to account as it should
Anyone remember when tiktok was called musically? It was basically a dispo for pedos
I didn’t think that this needed to be said, but I suppose it does.
IT IS NOT OK TO FUCK CHILDREN,PULL YOUR DICK OUT AND DO STUFF TO THEM WITH IT OR MAKE THEM DO STUFF WITH YOUR DICK. IT IS NOT OK TO LURE KIDS IN WITH THE END GOAL OF FUCKING OR MOLESTING THEM. THIS IS VERY BAD AND YOU SHOULD NEVER DO IT. RICH WHITE PEOPLE, THIS IS MAINLY FOR YOU.
There, I hope that helps.
While I agree with your statement, that’s not really what this article is about.
I do tend to get off topic.
Hentai is just Japanese cartoons, right? RIGHT???
