The Independent covers pressing social issues, including a lawsuit against TikTok filed by the families of children believed to have died from online challenges. The Social Media Victims Law Centre alleges that TikTok's promotion of dangerous videos increases the risks for children using the platform. One mother, Hollie Dance, expressed regret about unknowingly exposing her children to these dangers when providing them smartphones. The case underscores the need for awareness and accountability in social media usage among minors.
Hollie Dance stated, 'I always had this naive view that I'd wrapped my kids in cotton wool and no one could harm them. I didn't realise that by giving them a phone, I was letting the danger into my own home.'
