The development of TIK TOK technology

Meanwhile, in Indonesia, in September 2017, then the Tik-Tok application is bolted with its users, reaching 150 million in June 2018 and making Tik-Tok as one of the most popular apps. However, in its use, a lot of harmful content that appears. For example, a video of some teenagers who play the prayer movement.

Another case that attracted a lot of public attention was the case of a tick-tock user named Bowo, who was 13 years old. This case started with a meet and greeted that reportedly was made by his fans. From the MD, it was found that the real face was different from the faces in the tick-tock videos he made.

The incident also became the talk of many people and invited scorn from the community. Some harsh and dirty words made by the public, but not a few from Bowo fans who defended. But sometimes the way they protect is out of bounds, and it is a pity that the average age is a teenager and sitting in elementary school and junior high school.
