A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't use Tiktok but I gather that this is a big problem over there as well, so it sounds like Twitter is working just as well as the site it's riffing off.
I don't either but my understanding from other feedback, and from the article linked, is that no, it's not a problem there. More accurate algorithm and proper moderation.
It is, because my wife is an avid Tok user and complains about it, and reports it, frequently. She also says there are many animal videos that are "unsettling" but not outright abuse.
I saw the same kind of stuff in TikTok that I would on Instagram. I didn't see any animal torture on either prior to leaving those platforms.
