Urban legends were spread by word of mouth, like Marilyn Manson removing two ribs so he could self-fellate.
We'd hear it from 'that guy' at school, laugh and get on with our day. TikTok is that guy today, and unlike the '90s, he lives in your pocket and can deliver other such interesting tidbits on a variety of topics, 24 hours a day.

It only adds more of a responsibility on parents to either spend time with their kids and put TikTok vids in context or just let them be exposed to all the garbage out there.
