A coroner has found that suicide-related videos and images 14-year-old Norfolk schoolgirl Adriana Retyte viewed on TikTok may have played a significant part in her death. The Norfolk area coroner will send a prevention of future deaths report to bodies including Ofcom. TikTok says it strictly bans content promoting self-harm, but the Molly Rose Foundation wants Ofcom to investigate the app's algorithm without any delay.
