I completely agree, Надежда. It's heartbreaking how long it's taken to prioritize the safety of these kids.

I know of 10 year olds on Tiktok. Tiktok push cartoon videos to them that have suicidal ideation in it. The app is vile.

Omg finally! I really hope so, Cal, because those algorithms are just way too wild for kids.

Tough spot for TikTok. It’s about time someone took a proper look at these safety measures to keep the kids protected. Big call from Ofcom, but definitely necessary. Do you reckon this will actually force a change in how the app works?
