TikTok introduces safety measures, including age requirement, monitoring, family pairing, and limits for minors.

TikTok introduces safety measures to protect minors on its platform, including a minimum age requirement of 13, monitoring accounts for signs of underage users, and offering a family pairing program that allows parents to link their accounts with their teens' to set screen-time limits, pause notifications, and control messaging. Users under 18 have a daily screen-time limit of 60 minutes, and direct messaging is restricted for those under 16. In the past six months, TikTok removed around 6 million suspected underage accounts.
