Tiktok's feeding teens a diet of darkness.

Recently, a group of researchers created fictitious accounts of 13 year olds, and they quickly

found these feeds, filled with content about eating disorders, body image, self-arm,

even suicide.

All this despite the fact that TikTok employs 40,000 content moderators and has default

screen time limits for teenagers.

See Tiktok's problems have long plagued all social media platforms.

Most make efforts to prohibit the promotion of socially contagious self-destructive behaviors,

but none have been able to eliminate the content entirely.

And these guidelines, bands, and moderators do nothing to restrict other destructive

content such as ideas about gender confusion and transitions.

Parents cannot rely on the goodwill of social media giants to protect their kids.

Parents have to be proactive, teaching them how to use tech wisely, and oftentimes, just

saying no.

Most importantly, kids need to know who they are, people made in the image likeness of

God.
