TikTok reinforces privacy controls for teenagers
Chinese-owned short video-sharing app TikTok on Thursday announced stricter privacy controls for teenagers, seeking to address criticism that it has failed to protect children from hidden advertising and inappropriate content. Owned by China’s ByteDance, TikTok has grown rapidly around the world, particularly among teenagers. TikTok said the changes, targeted at users aged 13 to 17 years old, will be rolled out globally over the coming months.
