She watches videos about ancient Egypt, her friends lip syncing to songs, and knitting. The content on Tik Tok is way better than the trash on network TV or Hollywood movies.

I consider the Chinese oversight a plus. It’s much more sensitive to Asian values for the most part.

There are no “Asian values” on TikTok. TikTok is banned in China.

If it had values your 12yo wouldn’t be on it as Douyin has an age restriction of 18+, and prenatal consent if 13-17. Under 13 is prohibited. It also has time restriction of 40 minutes per day for 13-14yo and only accessible between 6am till 10pm. Not only that content is highly censored and restricted.

But keep living in a bubble that TikTok is totally fine.

prenatal consent

I don't think that means what you think it does.
