When profit drives design, platforms like TikTok put engagement over safety.
But these machines don’t have families, parents, children, or siblings they love and want to protect. Workers do. And workers know the value of safe online spaces.

What do you do when your bosses won't listen?
When concerns are ignored or your voice feels unheard, it can be frustrating. We want to know how you deal with it, whether it's speaking up, organising with colleagues or finding creative ways to make changes.

📢 TikTok cuts paternity leave & insists staff back in office five days a week.
This move undermines family rights and work-life balance. Changing leave entitlements while demanding full office presence shows a lack of respect for workers’ needs.
