The Issue

       Imagine a world where logging onto your favorite social media platform no longer fills you with fear and anxiety. For millions of TikTok users, especially young teens, this isn't just a nightmare—it's their reality. The grim landscape of cyberbullying, doxing, stalking, and online threats has invaded the realms of TikTok, putting the emotional and physical safety of users at risk.

         One worrying case involved a teenager from Chicago who spent months enduring relentless harassment. Personal details were leaked online, leading to targeted doxing attempts and threats not only to her but to her family as well. This is not an isolated incident. According to a study conducted by the Cyberbullying Research Center, 59% of American teenagers have reported being bullied online on social media platforms like TikTok.

        TikTok has a duty of care to protect its users from such harmful activities. Yet, too often, reports and complaints are ignored, allowing perpetrators to continue their abuse unchecked. It’s time for TikTok to take immediate and decisive action.

**Our Demands:**

1. **Stop Cyberbullying:** Enforce stronger penalties, including permanent bans for serious or repeated violations. This must be effectively and consistently applied.

2. **Stop Doxing:** Implement an effective, responsive system to rapidly remove exposed personal information and prosecute such breaches to discourage others from similar crimes.

3. **Stop Organised Harassment:** Invest in AI technology capable of detecting and stopping coordinated harassment, and ensure transparency by providing victims and their families with the outcomes of investigations.

These actions are not just necessary—they are lifesaving.

         By demanding accountability and proactive engagement from TikTok, we can reshape the platform into a safer space where creativity is celebrated without fear of harassment or threat. Our children, our siblings, and our friends deserve a safe space to express themselves and connect with others. Let us stand together to push for these much-needed changes.

       Sign this petition to urge TikTok into creating a safer, more accountable platform. Together, we have the power to drive change. #GoodbyeBullies #ProtectOurUsers
