[quote=Anonymous]I had not thought so til I went to a presentation and yes. First of all, it feeds content just like TikTok, and within moments of signing up as an 8th grade boy, you will get literal pornography and very suggestive videos. You can scroll by them and they will eventually leave your feed, but do you want to have to do that?

Second, the designers create it to lure people into habitual behavior that they don't even like. This whole business of building lots of streaks is a competitive way to demonstrate that you have lots of friends. Only not everyone has anything to text someone else every day, so they just end up sending pics of the hallway, all for the sake of appearances. I guess that isn't the worst thing in the world, but many teens report feeling burdened by it, and aren't there enough burdens already in the world?

As a mom, I would guess that my kids get it at some point, but I would want them to put it off. Even my kid who's almost 13 doesn't seem ready to see porn. Porn is obviously something many people are into at different stages in life, but it can give unrealistic and extreme ideas about sex, and again, who really needs that, especially at a young age?
