📢Take Action today and support children and young people globally to #FixtheFeed by signing the petition Amnesty International Kenya to tell TikTok to ban all targeted advertising aimed at younger users globally and to stop hyper-personalizing the ‘For You’ feed by default. http://amn.st/6046u47yC Read more on our Amnesty report: https://lnkd.in/dYQd32JZ #FixTikTok #FixtheFeed #digitalrights
TikTok can be a rich source of creative content; users can discover new things and find communities. But behind the infinitely scrollable feed is a highly extractive business model that undermines human rights. We took time to discuss with young people the impacts of TikTok on mental health. Amidst these discussions, young people addressed the need for global regulatory bodies and governments to address the intersection of social media, mental health, and user protection, particularly in relation to young users’ well-being.
