TikTok ‘directs child accounts to pornographic content within a few clicks’

The article reports that a study by the campaign group Global Witness found that TikTok's child accounts were directed to pornographic content within a few clicks, despite the platform's restrictions on adult content. The study involved creating fake accounts using a 13-year-old's birth date and turning on the "restricted mode" feature, which is meant to limit exposure to sexually suggestive content. However, the researchers found that this feature was not effective in preventing access to pornographic material on the platform. The article highlights the concerning issue of children's easy access to inappropriate content on social media platforms, even with safety features in place, and raises questions about the effectiveness of these measures in protecting young users.
