There’s a corner of TikTok navigating a more serious side of kids and the Internet: sexual exploitation.
Questions like these are reaching millions on TikTok and mums such as Catie Reay are starting the dialogue.
Mums in the same TikTok advocacy circle, including Seara Adair and Sarah Adams , have built large followings to bring awareness to sexual predators online, too, working together to bring virtual vigilance to the app. Adair shared an account of a young girl who was being dared to do inappropriate activities on TikTok by different users. “We’re adults, we know what’s happening here. We know why they’re asking her this. This child is incredibly too young to understand what she’s doing. She shouldn’t know what this means at this age.”
“It’s ironic how in this very CNN interview we talk about our accounts being silenced, suppressed and banned often because of what we do on this app,” Reay said about Adair’s ban.McClatchy News reached out to TikTok for comment on Adair’s ban on June 28 and was awaiting a response. Michael Beckerman, TikTok’s VP and head of public policy, told a Senate subcommittee in 2021 that the platform must earn the trust of the public, CNN Business reported.
