In your case you have constructed a narrative that this company is out to victim blame and discriminate against the disabled. You've then constructed an elaborate - and very harshly worded set of arguments around this.
Their guidelines "literally" (to use a word you keep on misusing) say this is about cyberbulling - the fault lies with the bullies in cyberbulling if you use that term.
Despite your use of the world "literally" the guidelines do not say this risk marking is designed to "victim blame" and "discriminate against the handicapped".
If you read the guidelines and have a background in this space (I can tell you do not) you may recognize some of these elements from guidelines used in educational and other setting for folks who have a mental handicap. Whether it's proper to bring them over is debatable, but you ascribe a lot of intent to tiktoc and seem unwilling to consider any other perspective than your own.
Content moderation is generally a cost center for platforms. They do it not because they want to, but because they HAVE to. They have links to suicide hotlines, ways to block and report followers. Your premise - that a for-profit company set out to incur costs to discriminate and victim blame (and you've done no analysis of steps they've taken around bullying on the platform). In fact - why was my account suspended is a very common question around tictok - in many cases exactly because of their steps here - they've constructed a reasonably positive community.
Suicide is I believe the second cause of death up to 30 or so (someone correct me) - so focus on questions of cyber-bullying is not unwanted. And yes - fault lies with the bullies - just the way it lies with the criminals who would abuse a child on the street in a city at 2AM. But you still might tell that child to be home while its light out to reduce the risks to them if they were vulnerable - and your intent may not be discriminate against your child's chance to do what they want but to protect them.
