I was wondering, I've recently picked up Tiktok and on the live streams, despite it saying that you need 1000 followers and be 18 years old, I saw so many kids, live streaming.
I was wondering why they didn't enforce their own rules.
I'm guessing, too large amount of streamers, but even if you had only one dedicated person, you'd certainly find enough teens or children live streaming.
So this is quite the timely ruling.
However why would people between 13 and 18 be prohibited from streaming?
If you say "the lurking perverts", that argument doesn't work for chat control, so why should it work here? It's a moot point. Sexual content is not allowed on Tiktok. You can see women in bikinis, but you can see them, even topless, in real life on public beaches too.
So what other reason would there be?
- jncfhnb 3y agoIn one case you’re seeing a topless woman on the beach In the other case you have anonymous strangers rewarding children for edging closer to sexual performances

- pjc50 3y ago> why would people between 13 and 18 be prohibited from streaming? The parasocial relationship with an audience, especially a large one, does weird things even to adults.
