TikTok algorithm got weird with my daughter

So my 14yo's TikTok feed suddenly started showing a lot of like... body checking content and unhealthy diet stuff. I noticed because she was asking weird questions about calories. We talked about it and I did some digging and apparently this is a KNOWN issue where the algorithm pushes kids toward eating disorder content if they watch even one video about fitness or diets. I've now set her account to "restricted mode" or whatever but honestly it's terrifying how quickly the algorithm went there. Anyone else experienced this? Makes me want to just delete the app tbh.
