Summary
The parents of four British teenagers are suing TikTok, alleging that its algorithm promoted the deadly “blackout challenge,” leading to their children’s deaths in 2022.
The lawsuit, filed by the Social Media Victims Law Center, claims TikTok deliberately pushed dangerous content to maximize engagement.
The case follows similar lawsuits and renewed scrutiny of social media’s role in child safety.
New UK laws now require platforms to prevent children from accessing harmful challenge videos.
TikTok hosts it, TikToks algorithm promotes it.
On the other hand HELLO PARENTS! Where the fuck were you?
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.
They can teach their kids to not be stupid as shit…imo this is on the parents 100%
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.
