NEW: TikTok’s algorithm is every parent’s worst nightmare, targeting children with harmful and dangerous content. 🧵

Chinese-owned TikTok promotes content that glamorizes self-harm and eating disorders to young users within minutes of using the app.

As the House is set to vote on a package this weekend including legislation to ban China’s control of TikTok, all Americans must recognize the threat TikTok poses to our children’s safety, mental health, and overall well-being.

Well, to be honest - it's really a parent's responsibility to control these apps and devices. There are a lot of tools out there that empower the parent to monitor remotely or shut down these apps.... That said - We parents cannot be everywhere either such as when they're out with friends - so you have to TEACH THEM...

If your kid sees a self harm video and likes it they will get more self harm videos. Maybe…talk to your child instead of blaming an app??? Hope this helps

What’s the difference btw this and every other social media company? They just do it better?

No it’s obviously not good for kids but it didn’t just start yesterday. Social media is a double edged sword. Parents need to be talking to their kids about issues before social media gets to be their source of information. TALK TO YOUR KIDS!

Horse manure. It’s not just TikTok.Instagram and Facebook also carry harmful content. But that’s Ok, because they’re American owned. Hypocrite much?

Propaganda.
