According to the news article, researchers have accused TikTok of failing to disclose the true scale of self-harm, Suicide, and eating disorder content on its platform. They claim that data showing the most popular videos with their hashtags, their viewing figures based on age and geography, and trends over time was readily available, but there was scant information collated in a similar way for self-harm, suicide, and eating disorder videos that were securing millions of views on the site. The amendment to the online safety bill that Lord Bethell has tabled would give independent researchers a legal right to access data currently only available after it has been screened by the social media companies.
