There needs to be some kind of report or regulation or lawsuit against the automatic sound added to videos/posts feature on tiktok?

I know that sounds intense but literally the automatic sounds added are wildly inappropriate and seem to use facial recognize to some degree but I feel like it's not talked about enough.

My friend (a black person) who rarely ever uses tiktok, took a photo on tiktok, and the automatic sound added was literally loudly repeating the n word (hard r)???? And saying more derogatory/racist things. RANDOMLY in the audio, you're telling me a song couldn't have just been added? I think the only sounds my friend has saved are Lana del Rey songs, HOW could that have possible happened?

As someone who's been on the app since 2018/musical.ly times, never deleted it, and has a very specific algorithm, what happened just now is why I need to complain because it's SO concerning. I never post on tiktok and have zero drafts. I got a video for a random child-like filter (a SpongeBob game) and I never really play the filter games but I'm bored so I did. As soon as I finished the video-- mind you, a black screen with a SpongeBob game/filter over it, the audio that started playing was a BABY'S VOICE saying "my father dumped his lad in me..." and then kept going with a disgusting/graphic story literally about a dad rping his daughter narrated by a BABY VOICE??? this is SO fucked up, its 2am and I'm sick to my stomach after hearing that??? It was incredibly graphic

I know people always say "this used to be a kid's app" but I feel like the auto sound feature is soo disturbing and inappropriate. Mind you, I don't even get inappropriate stories, dark humor ANYTHING remotely like that on my account so it's definitely not my algorithm.

Anyways, I had to rant, but outside of this, is there any way to turn off or report this feature?? Like is there ANYTHING to be done? Any other subreddit I should post this to for answers? Wtf!!!!
