The conversation around tiktok is so politicized and biased to the point I just can't take such results seriously.

If this was Instagram nobody would care.

> Global Witness, a climate organisation whose remit includes investigating big tech’s impact on human rights, said it conducted two batches of tests, with one set before the implementation of child protection rules under the UK’s Online Safety Act (OSA) on 25 July and another after.

Also why the hell is a human rights / climate org doing research on tiktok?

Yes, people would care. People who have been ringing the alarm bell regarding kids on social media for literally decades now.

Congress wouldn't care. Mark would make $ure of that...$omehow, but I can't quite figure out exactly what he would do. $omething $omething "campaign donation$".
