Has TikTok gone too far? Concerns rise as explicit videos increase online?

Mar 17 2021 Share

Videos have surfaced online of unknown Maltese individuals flaunting banknotes of cash allegedly made off of selling cannabis on TikTok as well as a video of what seems to be a cannabis plant laying around.

As the social media platform continues to grow, concerns continue to rise regarding the rapidly-increasing rate of explicit content on the platform. One may argue that the platform has gone too far and the lack of mediation of what content is being posted makes it a dangerous platform, especially when one takes into consideration the amount of youths that make us of TikTok.

What are your thoughts on the content shared on TikTok? Do you think that there needs to be increased mediation of the content being posted?
