Hi guys!! Did you know TikTok is working to take down a graphic and disturbing video showing a man shooting himself with a gun.?
Well...
The man originally livestreamed his suicide on Facebook late last month, but clips of the video have been shared in recent days to other social media platforms, including TikTok.
The livestreaming of violence and suicide on Facebook, Instagram and other platforms has been happening for years, but with TikTok's content recommendation systems, there is a potential for horrific content to spread quickly and to a broader swath of users. While Facebook and Instagram emphasize content from friends or accounts you follow, TikTok's wildly popular "For You Page" serves up content it believes you would enjoy, regardless of whether you follow the account or not. TikTok's large audience of young people also means gruesome and violent content could be recommended to kids and teens.
