TikTok is restricting beauty filters for users under 18 to address concerns about the impact on mental health and self-esteem. Filters that alter facial features like skin tone, eye size, and lip plumpness will be blocked, while playful filters like bunny ears remain available. TikTok also plans to use machine learning to better detect and block users under 13, aiming to create a safer environment for younger users amid growing scrutiny over the platform's effects on mental health.
