News Wall Street Journal: TikTok's algorithm sends sex- and drug-related videos to 13-year-olds

How TikTok Serves Up Sex and Drug Videos to Minors

The popular app can quickly drive young users into endless spools of adult content, including videos touting drug use and promoting pornography sites, a Wall Street Journal investigation finds.

www.wsj.com

The WSJ set up a hundred or so bot accounts, registering on TikTok as 13- to 15-year-olds, and monitored the videos that were recommended to them. Well, here's what happened:

TikTok served one account registered as a 13-year-old at least 569 videos about drug use, references to cocaine and meth addiction, and promotional videos for online sales of drug products and paraphernalia. Hundreds of similar videos appeared in the feeds of the Journal’s other minor accounts. TikTok also showed the Journal’s teenage users more than 100 videos from accounts recommending paid pornography sites and sex shops. Thousands of others were from creators who labeled their content as for adults only.

Dozens of the videos encouraged users to follow links to membership pages on OnlyFans.com, a subscription-based social-media platform that features adult entertainment, including explicit sex, among other content.

Policing content has been complicated by the company’s decisions in recent years to loosen some restrictions in the U.S., including around skin exposure and bikinis, according to several former executives and content moderators. The result has been more sexualized videos on the platform, the people said.

If there's any social media platform I despise, it's TikTok and its blatant lookism. Encouraging lonely youngcels to start simping early, I see.

Normalfags find it objectionable for incels to joke about child sexual exploitation, but once their favourite corporation does it, it's OK, I guess.

I was listening to a podcast about this. Apparently TikTok doesn't shield content behind an age barrier at all.

for once im gonna defend tiktok here.

Tiktok is actually trying to get rid of a lot of degeneracy on there, (OF, sex work in general, LGBTQ agenda, posting lewd videos) by removing videos/ banning users but that doesnt really do anything because people just make another account and hop back on.

Tiktok isnt to blame, although it does have some weird decisions sometimes on what it allows and what it bans, but it does do a good job on banning/ removing thots from posting their OF or referring people to their OF too much

the OF/ sex worker thots are the ones to blame, if they stopped posting their shit 95 % of the population doesnt want to see ( cause what they wanna see is funny shit) the above mentioned in OP wouldnt be happening as much.
