TikTok pushes teens to suicidal content in France: Amnesty

A new report by Amnesty International has accused TikTok of endangering young users in France by promoting a stream of depressive and suicidal content through its algorithm, despite EU rules designed to protect children online.

The study, titled “Dragged into the Rabbit Hole,” found that the platform’s “For You” feed exposed 13-year-olds to distressing videos within hours, creating what Amnesty called a “toxic cycle” of mental health–related material.
