That seriously pisses me off, an they use hashtags that's totally inappropriate as well, the amount of naked people I've seen under the hashtags art or adult colouring is ridiculous, while I couldn't care less about naked people I know that I wouldnt be happy if my kid was looking through hashtags like art an crafts an come accross all that
We used to have a pub with no beer when we were teens that was just before drugs arrived on the scene that’s when things changed for the worst
To be fair if you enable Google safe search (which is easy) this wouldn't happen. It's not nearly as easy to avoid on twitter, Reddit,FB, tiktok etc. Google do a far better job than the others at filtering content.
My cousin ended up seeing that video in which the guy shot himself in the head, my aunt had a lenghy conversation with her an in the end we did remove her from tictoc completly but she had a understanding from what she saw an she said herself maybe she no longer wanted the app
Yeah there's some really disturbing stuff ,even on YT the amount of suicide vids is shocking and freely available to watch . What possesses people to upload this kind of thing to begin with ...it's sick
I agree an I definitely blame the sites themselves for not being responsible enough to make sure this all stays off, it's like these ridiculous prank things where they are targeted specifically towards kids but kids don't understand an realise that it's all fake, there was that youtuber who ended up being shot dead because he had grown watching these prank things believing them to be real an tried to do a "theft prank" where he ran up to people brandishing a knife to try an get them to hand over their wallets an they shot him in self defense where he died because he thought this was how the pranks he seen online where done, to me youtube is the worst for sickos an idiots to upload these things because they know they are being seen by kidsYeah there's some really disturbing stuff ,even on YT the amount of suicide vids is shocking and freely available to watch . What possesses people to upload this kind of thing to begin with ...it's sick
Yeah ! those prank things are so dangerous wasn't some YTers girlfriend badly burned doing one .The amount of stuff targeted at kids is getting out of hand especially through gaming channels etc ,I have to keep telling my son these thing he watches are fake you don't go and give your parents debit card details to people so you can claim millions of Vbucks ,it's unreal .
There's a Peppa Pig one too ( adult version )Off topic but when my youngest was little she loved in the night garden, I was letting her watch clips of it on YouTube whilst I was in the hairdressers, some absolute wise guy thought they were clever to upload a clip were IP was shot dead. Bastards
Jeepers why did that link come up. I'm so sorry.

I thought it was a mod edit or something
Exactly, the scams now a days are more geared towards kids than adults because they know they can get away with it more, it's becoming more an more where you need to sit down to kids an explain how scams work an why you need to tell your parent if someone is asking for somthing, not that scams haven't always been around but I don't think they were so heavy when I was a kid as they are now, and the gaming ones are so huge which wasn't a thing back then, I've heard tons of stories where parents cards have been maxed because kids have been pressured into taking them an using them or handing details over, even on twitch you get people telling their audience (again mostly kids) how ungrateful they are or how they clearly aren't a fan etc because they aren't donating to them
This worried me, my 10 year old is obsessed with Fifa so asks questions when a player gets removed. Could easily lead to a Google or YouTube search and exposed to inappropriate content. He doesn't have much Internet access and my parental controls are strict but I'm not going to pretend it can't happen.
I only let him watch TikTok when he's here in front of me and it's my email he's signed in with but it's so easy to override PC and kids are so tech savvy he knows more than me .
Yeah they deff get at them through gaming channels ,my eldest son ran up a massive bill one time, thought he was buying stuff in pence when it was in ten pounds luckily my phone provider let me know but not before it was in hundreds of pounds ,which I still had to pay .That learnt me to put a zero excess on my account .
Dang sorry to hear you ended up having to still pay it, especially such a high amount, the game ones are the worst ones out there, my cousins all ended up having to put passwords an such on everything because the kids would constantly ask for money to buy into these scams an they feared that would happen where the kid would just take the card, it's the same with mobile apps, my little cousin wanted to subscribe to some game she was playing, so we had a look at it as usually they are around £2 or £3 this one game was £45 a month
I was like what the hell, so we explained to her that to pay that we would need to stop paying for the sky an disney+ to make her understand more just what she would need to lose in order to pay that, she eventually got rid of the game thankfully
