On Tik Tok, an undercover journalist exposes how TikTok's algorithm targets younger children with sexual content.

This guy then found that there's actually multiple chatrooms in which 12 year olds perform sexually borderline things for money with adults paying them. He found that adults are using coded language with the younger girls to bypass any moderation. 5th check means "let us see your stomach," You forgot something means to "walk away and show your butt," outfit check is a common one which means the girls will back up and show their bodies. Viewers were requesting views of feet like "feet check" or "toe ring check." Viewers attempted to move off platform with buying the little kids something from their Amazon wish list.

Even more, a contractor part of an organization that moderates tiktok was working on AI to better be able to stop sexually explicit algorithm and was surprised when he was given a rather large cache of pictures of teens performing sexual acts (all of which previously came from TikTok) in order to give the AI a better reference to catch them. Basically, TikTok had to remove 300 hundred million videos in 2020, which 50% was in the minor safety category.
