It's up to parents and culture and individuals. No state solution can meet the parameters of privacy and do anything impactful with regards to content filtering, and we should be fed up with "but think of the children" as a prelude to further losses of civil liberty.

#7It's not just TikTok, Youtube also has similar problems:
- The disturbing YouTube videos that are tricking children: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-39381889
- YouTube is reportedly pointing kids to thousands of disturbing, violent, and inappropriate videos: https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/youtube-is-reportedly-po...
- On YouTube, a network of paedophiles is hiding in plain sight: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/youtube-pedophile-videos-adv...

#8No child is going to be mentally scarred for seeing softcore porn or someone doing a bong rip. I don’t think there is anything that bad on TikTok that a teenager cannot handle it.
It says in the article that parents have to approve accounts for children under 18 anyways. If you let your kid on the internet without supervision they are probably going to see the worst things imaginable, thats the price of unfettered communication. Don’t let your kid on TikTok if you want to shelter them.

And there really isn't any effective ways to stop them from finding this type of content. And I don't really trust any automated moderation methods either...
Only realistic option is curated content, but by whom and with what political agenda?
And what is the point, they can find it outside anyway, as there is no real way to lock down everything.
