TikTok literally got people to commit check fraud
That's like saying YouTube or Facebook I forget which one, got people to eat tide pods. Information spreads on all platforms whether good or bad.
Twitch promoted gambling for children.
They've infested other places too. Fuggin the sketchier pirate movie streaming sites have movies that just have gambling site watermarks all throughout the movie. It's crazy.
Not really considering Youtube will nuke your fucking account if you promote criminal activity, TikTok will not. Therefore TikTok is liable.
TikTok also lied and made it seem like it wasn't a crime
Then how did all these people eat tide pods. Once tiktok realized they were promoting check fraud they stopped it but you can't react fast enough for some of these things
