Call to investigate social media platform TikTok to protect minors
I would like to draw attention to the serious effects of the TikTok platform on minors, in particular their mental, emotional and social development. Sexual content and abuse on the platform normalise illegal and harmful relationships, putting the safety of young people at risk. In addition, content often degrades ethical and social norms and promotes the development of body image disorders and mental health problems. Their algorithm encourages overuse by minors, which negatively affects their sleep and learning outcomes. I would ask that the functioning and content of the platform be thoroughly reviewed in order to protect minors. Please/ My requests and suggestions: 1. Launch a thorough investigation into TikTok's algorithms and content control systems. 2. Introduce strict regulations to limit harmful content affecting minors. 3. Include mechanisms to reduce the use of the night-time platform, such as age-limited locks. 4. Enforcing EU legislation to ensure the safety of minors online.
