The Spin

TikTok has implemented comprehensive safety measures to protect young users, including direct messaging restrictions for those under 16, screen time management tools, and family pairing features that let parents monitor usage. The platform actively curates age-appropriate content and provides additional privacy protections for users under 13.

TikTok's algorithm actively promotes pornographic content to children despite supposed safeguards, creating a digital minefield that destroys young minds through unrealistic expectations and addiction. The platform's failures demand immediate regulatory intervention, as current protections are clearly insufficient to prevent developmental trauma.
