The global popularity of TikTok presents many opportunities for creativity and connection, but it also presents challenges, particularly when users publish inappropriate, harmful or offensive content. In Raleigh, NC, we've observed an alarming increase in such activities that goes unchecked. According to a 2020 survey by Statista, 32.5% of TikTok users in the U.S. are aged 10-19, showing that a considerable number of impressionable minds are exposed to potentially harmful content (source: Statista). This petition seeks the intervention of local and state lawmakers to implement rigorous regulations for TikTok users and penalties for those who post inappropriate content in Raleigh. It's critical that we protect our community, especially the young users who are the most vulnerable. Disruptions, suspensions, or bans for such users will help keep our digital space a safer place for everyone. Help us create a healthier online environment. Sign this petition to support us in this crucial endeavor.
