Kim Kardashian has brought North West<\/a>. Not every event or activity is child-appropriate.<\/p>\nSure, between the two parents, more people are Team Kim than Team Kanye. Hitler apologists are not, as a rule, great parents.<\/p>\n
But Kim\u2019s most recent stunt has fans expressing nothing but disgust<\/em>.<\/p>\nSome accuse her of endangering North and Chicago online. And others are asking why she\u2019s allowing anonymous fans to send the girls gifts<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Kim Kardashian spent time on TikTok Live with daughters North West and Chicago West. (Image Credit: TikTok)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nNorth West is 9 years old. Chicago West is only 5. The threshold age for many parts of the internet is 13 \u2014 whether you\u2019re ordering a pizza or signing up for social media. If you\u2019re not there yet, you need a parent.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, their parent, Kim, went on TikTok Live with both of them. They filmed a dance routine and shared it.<\/p>\n
TikTok Live is not merely a real-time livestream. It also allows thoroughly unmoderated<\/em> comments to float up onto the broadcaster\u2019s stream. Oh, and it allows viewers to send the streamer gifts<\/em>.<\/p>\nAs you can see in this screenshot, Kim Kardashian, North West, and Chicago West received \u201cgifts\u201d from fans over TikTok Live. (Image Credit: TikTok)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt\u2019s super weird for a billionaire to receive gifts from random fans at all \u2014 even if it\u2019s optional. (Some of these \u201cstickers\u201d are worth actual money; they are essentially financial tokens)<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s also weird to subject children to a massive audience on social media without regulation.<\/p>\n
Many streams have moderation. TikTok Live has, at best, TikTok\u2019s automated filters. Anyone who has moderated any kind of live stream \u2014 even for very small audiences \u2014 can tell you that these are never enough. Not for adults, and certainly not for little kids.<\/p>\nKim Kardashian has been accused of photoshopping a pic of her 6-year-old daughter. Instagram users believe Kim artificially \u201cslimmed down\u201d little North West.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nNaturally, a ton of commenters on TikTok itself expressed their horror and concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cLost for words,\u201d one wrote. \u201cWhy do people gift them and does KK even know these gifts are worth $?\u201d<\/p>\n
Another commented: \u201cThis is sick. Don\u2019t even want to know the comments those poor kids are reading.\u201d<\/p>\nPARIS, FRANCE \u2013 JULY 06: North West and Kim Kardashian attend the Jean-Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall Winter 2022 2023 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on July 06, 2022 in Paris, France.

\u201cThat\u2019s so weird considering the s\u2013t people ALWAYS comment on Tiktok lives,\u201d that same person remarked.<\/p>\n
\u201cTikTok is like the worst platform for kids,\u201d the commenter sagely described. \u201cAnd she just puts her kids straight into the firing line.\u201d<\/p>\nUS socialite Kim Kardashian arrives for the 2023 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 1, 2023, in New York. \u2013 The Gala raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s Costume Institute.

Another commented: \u201cGrowing up through the initial social media wave, I\u2019d never expose my minor children to the internet.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s probably a bit hyperbolic (keeping a 15-year-old off of the internet would be a disservice and make school work impossible). <\/p>\nWEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA \u2013 NOVEMBER 12: Kim Kardashian attends the 2022 Baby2Baby Gala presented by Paul Mitchell at Pacific Design Center on November 12, 2022 in West Hollywood, California.

In 2003, radicalization in a hate group would likely take place in a hard-to-find forum. Predators hunting for minors would have to use chat rooms and email.<\/p>\n
In 2023, algorithms will spoonfeed people radicalization material on TikTok or on YouTube. They don\u2019t have to seek it. Meanwhile, predators can masquerade as \u201csafe\u201d people in fandom spaces, condemning \u201cproblematic art\u201d to gain social clout and access to their targets.<\/p>\nNEW YORK, NEW YORK \u2013 APRIL 25: Kim Kardashian attends the 2023 TIME100 Summit at Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 25, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Craig Barritt\/Getty Images for TIME)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs for the gifts, a lot of livestream platforms \u2014 from TikTok to Twitch \u2014 have these mechanisms.<\/p>\n
People vie for \u201ctop gifter\u201d status, hoping for attention from whichever famous person is on their screen. But a number of commenters suggested that Kim should turn them off.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, though we don\u2019t love the idea of any child (or most adults) on TikTok \u2026 presumably, Kim would have ended the livestream if the comments got out of hand. Right? We hope so.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
