Parents sue TikTok over child deaths allegedly caused by ‘blackout challenge’
-
It falls on TikTok to not moderate such things.
And we need to stop forgiving these companies when they allow things like this on their platform with no attempt at curbing the spread.
-
TikTok hosts it, TikToks algorithm promotes it.
On the other hand HELLO PARENTS! Where the fuck were you?
-
No, this is horseshoe thinking these super.Rich companies can afford to hire Moderators. Moderation Is something they can and are big enough to afford.
Vote for me I propose per one million active users on any social media site requires X# Full time moderators. Create some jobs use filthy rich fucks.

For us in the late 80s, it was called knocking off as a play on nodding off. The local news was all over it. In fact, that's how my friends learned about it. I never did it but I had a few friends that would choke each other out to get high all the time.

Parents can’t police everything their kids do, especially when they’re older.
-
Especially at school, where they're surrounded by other dumb kids doing dumb shit.
-
Aye, but then those moderators are removing content that then throttles engagement, won't someone think of the shareholders??

They can teach their kids to not be stupid as shit..imo this is on the parents 100%

I'd agree if not for the fact that TikTok knowingly choses to use an algorithm that promotes stuff like this. In the same way, if someone was putting up bilboards suggesting cleaning chemicals, or if someone was taking out TV ads promoting violence, sure, the responsibility might not only be on them, but they knowingly chose to take part.

No you can't, only experience can teach you to not be stupid as shit. What parents can do is to teach children how to learn the right lesson from what they experienced, but they can't control what experiences their kids are exposed to 24/7.
