After this, if you see TikTok and there is no video of the admin dancing, don't be angry.
TikTok is looking for ways to rate and restrict content by age to prevent adult content from being viewed by teen users and below.
Generally, the popularity of TikTok among teen users is undeniable so ByteDance, the company that owns the TikTok app, is running tests to make sure adult content is blocked from teen user accounts.
According to a statement from the firm, they will use standard content rating guidelines used in movies and video games to determine the type of content displayed.
In addition, the firm will test ways for content creators to determine whether the content created can be viewed by the general public or vice versa.
Issues regarding content displayed on social media platforms and the well -being and safety of adolescent users are highly discussed.
This is because, Meta Platform Inc., the company that owns Facebook; Instagram; and WhatsApp, have been criticized by U.S. lawmakers following their plans to release a special version of Instagram for children.
Also, last year, U.S. lawyers opened an investigation paper against Meta for promoting Instagram to children despite potential dangers after internal documents were leaked, raising questions about the company’s research into Instagram’s impact on the mental health of teen users.
As a result, TikTok which has also been criticized for displaying food disorder content has taken the matter seriously and will release content that promotes irregular eating.
