Not only that, but at this point the same points are being repeated over and over.

I want a rejection or acception from the Scratch Team.

Sometimes, the Scratch Teams give neither. They rather give their opinion on the matter. Hence, why I believe this topic might actually be closed.

No. It must be rejected to be closed, also, Za-Chary said that they want to add this, so it might be open until it gets added.

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

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.
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.
yeah but at least its not on the front page of youtube

And youtube dosen't have the infinite scroll, it mostly just features content from channels you are subscribed to, and if you are logged out it just features music

logged out youtube uses personalization, defaulting to music if personalization doesn't work

Agree, agree, agree, agree. TikTok has nothing helpful that you can use on Scratch (and thousands upon thousands of examples of unsafe content).

There is no reason I can think of that TikTok links should be allowed and, after all… if YouTube links are blocked/redirected, why should social media apps be allowed? That's basically the definition of unsafe + linking to a platform not verified by Scratch.

Than is unfortunate. However, there can be inappropriate content on almost all sites. Use the report buttons on anything you think is not appropriate for Scratch. If we see enough cases where links to TikTok are being abused, we will consider adding it to the filter so that it can't be used on Scratch. Thanks for your feedback.
