The dangerous games you can play on TikTok

Post by tamada » January 23, 2021, 10:21 am

Italy blocks TikTok for certain users after death of girl allegedly playing 'choking' game

Probe launched after girl’s sister reportedly told parents she had been ‘playing the blackout game’ before her death

"... TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, said on Friday it had not managed to identify any content on its site that could have encouraged the girl to participate in any such challenge, but was helping the authorities in the probe over possible “incitement to suicide”. ..."

My oldest boy who has more than a passing familiarity with TikTok told me yesterday morning about this "online challenge" that TikTok themselves seem to be unable to identify.
