This is pretty tame and actually sounds pretty pragmatic and well-organized in a non-threatening manner, especially given the target audience (kids). Moderating for different countries’ rules is a requirement unless you want to get kicked out of lots of markets.

The real concern I have is in the fact that things below 50 views don’t get much moderation attention, which is the same across all platforms, and where we see the most risk for these platforms to be used to bully people within small social groups (such as at school).

Anyone who thinks Facebook doesn’t similarly optimize the content within Explore etc is delusional. It would be interesting to compare the information these companies offer national security organizations.

Are you joking? TikTok is absolutely awful at moderating content for (and generated by) children.

while at the same time marketing and deliberately targeting children.

I'd go as far as describing their behavior as "sexually Grooming" children.

Not a fan here as I guess you can tell.
