He couldn’t have known they were on Tik-Tok, so it’s because they were white and female.
My point.
Why is the NYP focusing on their mode of communication? TikTok has nothing to do with the story.
I think he may have just been pointing out that they left themselves vulnerable by being distracted by social media.
What it means is that they have a platform from which to relate their experiences. This means the NYPD has to address it to some extent, as opposed to the likely thousands of others who’ve experienced the same thing, but can only tell friends and family.
I think they’re saying these are being reported using the tik tok app.
