Tiktok Teens Naked

Tiktok may offer dance tutorials and viral comedy sketches, but it has also become a hub for sexual abuse, bullying and body image issues. It has been linked with eating disorders; teenage girls using Tiktok are using it as a way to look thinner or younger or have bigger eyes or lips; teens suffering from mental-health conditions use Tiktok to promote self-harm – even one suicide death has been blamed on it.

Tiktok claims it is working hard to improve moderation, with a dedicated team of human moderators in place; however, Amnesty’s review demonstrates otherwise. Millions of users reportedly access its platform freely and post explicit material such as videos of sexual misconduct and bullying; moreover, Tiktok refuses to release reports outlining this abuse – showing just how much more needs to be done in protecting children and young people on its platform.

Although Tiktok has made improvements in their policies and practices, they still expose children to more invasive data harvesting practices in parts of the world where laws and regulations are weak – leaving children susceptible to serious violations of their privacy rights.

We should dedicate more resources toward equipping children with media-literacy skills to keep them safe online. Parents must be educated on the risks posed by social media so they can monitor their child’s use, and apps like Tiktok must impose age restrictions that protect children’s online safety.
