The TikTok feed suggestion mechanism in particular feels like an engagement seeking algorithm with a few hundred content safety rules taped on top of it. Almost like LLM content moderation, I don't think it's possible to fully control. Especially given the adversarial nature of content creation & consumption. Onlyfans models and Far Right political groups seem especially effective in finding ever more indirect ways to escape the moderation rules. For example, this week there were a series of videos in my feed making racially controversial statements using Golden Retrievers and Pitbulls as euphemisms for persons of different ethnicities. I'm pretty such the TikTok mods don't actively want racist content, but it's very hard - to the point of impossible - for them to fully remove this stuff entirely with the pace of evasion techniques.
