I do not use TikTok. I hate it. But, I saw how it looks like, when I tried to install it.
The first thing I saw when opening the app: a cringy video with men dancing without any clothes on them, NOT EVEN UNDERPANTS! You know what is under the underpants. So, I think TkTok links should be banned.

No support. You can just report any bad tiktok links you find. This would be like banning all YouTube links.

But TikTok dosen't have any moderation at all, unlike YT.

I personally never used Tik Tok, but from what I can see, it is a million times worse, mainly as a consequence of a lack of restrictions on inappropriate content, which ranges from 18+ stuff to dangerous stunts; there were even actual fatalities from people trying these stunts to get famous.

That's what i'm saying. YouTube has reporting and community guidelines.

And so does Tiktok

Yes, but nobody follows them

I support, this app also collects your personal data, such as IP adresses(even if you use a VPN), literally everything on your device and more. (Pretty much the reason why TikTok was banned from my country) Banning TikTok links would keep millions of scratchers safer.

Does TikTok have unmoderated chat? If so, then I'm all in for this.

Otherwise, I still want this simply for the fact that TikTok has 18+ content and the guidelines aren't enforced.
And with this logic, Newgrounds links should be banned too (if they aren't already) because there is little to no moderation on the website and there is a bunch of 18+ stuff on there.

That's like banning all the youtube shorts links. No support.

That violates the tiktok guidelines. Just report it.
And you think this doesn't happen on youtube? All of the time, there's inappropriate videos violating the youtube guidelines that take days to moderate.

I definitely support this idea. TikTok is essentially a bunch of kids (and child-like adults) who are told to follow a set of rules, but aren’t actually enforced to do so. Therefore, TikTok seems to me like essentially just a mess of whatever people feel like making. It shouldn’t be a place young Scratchers are going on to. Even if there isn’t private chat, (I don’t know if it has that or not, I have never really used the app) at least in my opinion, links to it should be banned from Scratch for sure.

A. Who would be linking a YouTube short anyway? They all are way worse than any regular-length YouTube video, at least as far as I have seen.
B. While inappropriate stuff can appear on YouTube, they seem to be more likely to do anything about it than TikTok. Plus, YouTube links on Scratch go to the discuss link. Meanwhile, TikTok links just go to TikTok.

Support, as others said, TikTok has little to no moderation for innapropriate posts.

Most websites and apps do that. Scratch collects your IP to IP Ban you if you make altenate accounts to evade bans.

Support, this app is too much of a risk to be allowed on scratch. Most videos on this platform are either disrespectful, inappropriate, possibly illegal?, And it's overall not a well moderated platform. The reason YouTube was allowed was because it can be safe, and it's way too popular. However, this platform is not safe for scratchers at all, so it should be banned.

A. who would be linking a tiktok, then?
B. maybe the scratch team can do a conversion for those too

considering that tiktok is more or less spyware, and that it includes lots of Bad Things, i support this suggestion.

TikToks are typically more entertaining. As bad as TikTok is, it is better than YouTube Shorts. YouTube itself, however, I prefer.

In my opinion those should stay on TikTok.
Anyway, I give up, idk what else to say

support, tiktok is not for 8+, and it has resricted content.
