Again, this is not relevant to the original comment.
This is about how advertising was abused to target children.
It honestly sounds like you unjustifiably hate the platform and are throwing every nonsensical argument.
You’ve provided zero justification that tiktok as a company purposely targets children or designs their application specifically for children.

I have to say they provided a lot of links and were unable to show anything relevant so i was tempted just to assume they’re crazy but I try not to base anything on crazy people even negatives so I looked it up
Looking at TikTok creator ages, figures are skewed towards a younger demographic. Young adults (18-24 years) make up over half of the creators (52.83%). While under 18s make up a comparatively low 27.47%
I don’t know how accurate these are but the article said they’re sourced from tiktok
A lot of people want a big bad to blame for everything and tiktok is it for a lot of people, but yeah I don’t really think their claim is correct
Lulzagna@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Agreed. We’re both being downvote because we’re not part of the hive mind.
Most of the links provided are about how children were easy to advertise to and TikTok was not properly protecting them. That’s a completely different discussion than “tiktok is targeting children”.
I want to be a supporter of keeping children safe, but I don’t think banning tiktok will help anything other than create 5 new platforms that will make letting kids safe even harder

Unrelated, and you provided links that tiktok has worked to prevent this behavior from advertised

This is about advertising to children within the platform and how tiktok intends to protect unethical advertising to children

Again - take the L.

I’m sorry you are getting downvoted, because technically you are right. TikTok will never claim to aim at children or advertise as such because they know they can’t provide a safe environment and will open themselves up to lawsuits.
Lulzagna@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Tiktok’s stance is rather meaningless because they’d never admit wrongdoing. I’m not curious how does tiktok target children with their platform? How do they lure them to it and why?
Then the conversation becomes: What standards should social media platforms be accountable to?
Nudding@lemmy.world 8 months ago
If you’re the type of person who needs a verbal admission of guilt before you can see wrong doing, I guess.

The fact that you can advertise to children on tiktok doesn’t mean that the platform specifically exists to cater to young children.

The comment was
That study shows the opposite. YouTube benefited from minors over 2.5 times more than TikTok. And it shows every other platform is benefiting similar amounts. In fact, Snapchat has half the number of monthly users as tiktok but has almost identical ad revenue from minors. All the major social media platforms suck and are trying to take advantage of us, especially kids
aniki@lemm.ee 8 months ago
I’m not arguing it’s only tiktok. They all fucking suck. The question was how does TikTok benefit off children and the answer is advertising. That’s a fact.
GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 8 months ago
But the original comment you replied to WAS saying it’s only, or at least primarily, Tiktok.
I only commented because, especially among the reddit and fediverse demographic, there’s a fervent dislike of TikTok specifically. I think some people have lost sight of the larger issue, that TikTok is a symptom and not the disease. But it’s an easy target because of its early reputation as a dance app for younger users, its alleged ties to the CCP, and its popularity.
