A 3-year-old girl unknowingly sparked a mass social media movement of moms removing public photos and videos of their children online after online sleuths noticed a disturbing trend.
One user, @hashtagfacts, noted that a video of Wren wearing a cropped, orange shirt was saved more than 45,000 times. A video of Wren eating a hotdog was saved nearly 375,000 times. She also highlighted unsettling comments on Wren’s videos and pointed out that popular searches for Wren’s account included phrases like "Wren Eleanor hotdog" or "Wren Eleanor pickle," meaning users were frequently searching for videos of the three-year-old eating a hotdog or pickle. Similar popular searches for Wren appeared on Google.
And not only can videos and photos be saved on TikTok and other social media accounts, but predators can also use a smartphone's screen-recording feature to record or screenshot content directly to their phones without being traced.
Parents need to be aware of what predators are looking for on public profiles and avoid posting the kinds of content that bad actors consume, without consequence, on social media. They also need to teach their children about the dangers of sharing too much personal information with strangers online, according to Walsh.

TikTok, known in China as Douyin (Chinese: 抖音; pinyin: Dǒuyīn), is a short-form video hosting service owned by Chinese company ByteDance. They will take all your data, if I'm not mistaken Trump at some point tried to ban it here in the states but guess who fought it?
Never had tiktok, instagram and haven't had facebook for years. I suggest getting smart about what you post. Lots of sick people who don't give one flying F.. about you wanting likes.

I'm not a parent, but I have always found it weird that some will post pictures of their kids/toddlers publicly and constantly on social media. These people only care for themselves and likes (dopamine hit.)
