That way if mom is aware and doesn't mind, you haven't offended her, but if she has no idea what you're mean, you can direct her to it.
Dude, MYOFB
If the mom isn’t involved in her tik tok account, that doesn’t mean you should be.
It sounds like she has a public account so her mom can easily see

If it's to the point where it might hurt her academic and professional career, I think it's your son who should say it. Coming from someone's mother, she'll dismiss you out of hand. But if it comes from a peer and someone she trusts to have her best interests at heart, particularly a boy... she might take it to heart. And the argument shouldn't be a moral one. It should be kept strictly as a college apps / internship /internet is forever, sort of discussion.
It's getting to be pretty bad. Sports bra and teeny shorts. It's not as much the clothes, I get it, she is experimenting. It's the comments from seemingly older men.

I would want to say some thing, but I wouldn’t say anything. You never know it’s acceptable to other families. Personally, I would not allow my daughter to do anything skimpy or sexual on TikTok so I would want to know. But I recognize I’m in the minority on this.

OMG, no. Stop judging what young women are wearing. If you couldn't see breasts or genitals, which you couldn't, MYOB.

Why are you cockblocking your own son?

Skimpy on Tik Tok = bikini or lingerie.
It's not the same thing as skimpy in real life.
Teens get that, but their parents do not.
I know you're concerned, but you having a conversation with her mother isn't going to go over well.

If I was her mom, I would want to know, but there’s a fair chance she already knows. Either way, tell your son to stay away from her tik tok and not to comment on it.
