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

        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.

          If you’re the type of person who needs a verbal admission of guilt before you can see wrong doing, I guess.

          Tiktok’s stance is rather meaningless because they’d never admit wrongdoing. I’m more 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?
