      Man even Cinemax didn’t have hard core porn and beheadings. The shit that those two apps show you should never be seen by anyone.

        You think teens are being exposed to porn and gore on YouTube and tiktok??

        Not, ya know, pornhub and liveleak?

        That’s a pretty fuckin weird take since YouTube and tiktok are well known for overly aggressive content moderation

          Obviously, you can just search google for porn. Head to a library, I’m sure you’ll find stuff there some people say is smut. “The Algorithm” doesn’t catch it all. What it pulls down and “moderates” is copyrighted content. The rest, they get to when they get to it.

        Yeeeeeah but I’m willing to bet that the vast majority of teens aren’t actually filling the majority of their view time with porn and trauma. Though I’m sure there is some significant porn watching, the beheadings part is far less so I am willing to bet.
