  This is like when the police throw the murder weapon in jail and avoid charging anyone because it’s easier to find a scapegoat instead of holding parents responsible for what they teach their kids.

    As AP reports on the same issue:

    There has been increasing concern from Albanian parents after reports of children taking knives and other objects to school to use in quarrels or cases of bullying promoted by stories they see on TikTok.

    Isn’t it somewhat strange that Tiktok, whose parent company is forced to closely surveill and censor each politically undesired content in its home country, while it is at the same time not only unable to suppress but reportedly even promotes obviously harmful content on its platforms outside China?

  I’m sure Amogus and Doom 2 had something to do with it also
