A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

This doesn't seems like they trying to be reasonable, it seems like they want to ban it but with extra step.
Also, no, this is very different. Thing spread slowly pre-internet, tiktok spread like wild fire in drought month. There's different level of alertness needed to handle both cases, and tiktok themselves need to self-regulate, they can't just wave their responsibility away because "dangerous challenge occur without us before".
I can't hold them responsible for every dumb thing kids spread and try doing on their platform. You can't expect everything to get regulated and removed in an instant. Watch your damned kids and don't let them have tik tok to begin with. Then accept that a person dying isn't always someone else's fault. Your kid dying because he seen a thing on the internet to take a bunch of benadryl, then goes and steals your benadryl and overdoses on it, isn't the internets fault.
You can't, but i can. They are multibillion dollar company, their app sole purpose is to serve user similar content based on watch history, they have a report button, they have the budget to hire, they have the resource to review, it's their platform, they have to self regulate, and not extracting resource then wipe their hand clean without bearing any negative consequences. If they can't, then the government should.
You can't just show kids how fun gambling is then say you're not responsible on these kids getting addicted after watching you. Tiktoker lies a lot to get the result they want, and they always leave out the danger of doing what they did. If bytedance did not regulate these content then they should get the axe, no one should get away scott free.
By your logic, just blame the parents. They have the ultimate responsibility.
And by your logic, cigarette ads should be on full display again because the ultimate responsibility lies on the parent and cigarette company shouldn't be held liable for the addiction.
And no, you even get my logic wrong.
Why not shutdown tiktok, emprison copycats?
