[object Object]@webhat tiktok is awful for a number of reasons that you and I already know but your teen does not care about (which isn’t a critique, it’s just how it is)
however telling them “no absolutely not” will be ineffective at best
probably the best bet is to allow tiktok, but counter-present on its dangers and on alternatives. tiktok probably isn’t the only awful system they’ll be exposed to by the time they start their career so it’s a good opportunity to teach stuff like opsec and modalities
@webhat depending on other context, it might make sense to set a boundary like “hey if you end up making videos run them by me first” so you can make sure they’re not doxing themselves or doing tiktok pranks (aaaaaaaaaaaaa) that might get them punched or arrested
at that point it’s more of a hobby, and in my limited experience (please take all of this with a grain of salt) it’s very ineffective to limit a teen’s hobbies, but getting legitimately involved can help make it a positive hobby
