More than 60,000 European parents involved are against TikTok

According to SOMI, concerns about the Chinese platform among parents are greater than ever after another fatal incident with the so-called blackout challenge on TikTok. Plus, people let themselves suffocate for as long as possible while photographing themselves. Last month, a twelve-year-old American boy died as a result of this challenge. Earlier this year, a 10-year-old Italian girl died from the challenge of a power outage, her parents said. Children under the age of sixteen need permission from their parents to get a TikTok account, but according to SOMI, age verification is easy to circumvent.
