  At TikTok there's nothing more important than the safety and privacy of our community. Today we're proud to announce changes for users under age 18 aimed at driving higher default standards for user privacy and safety. Learn more on our Newsroom. https://newsroom.tiktok.com/ ...

  Impressive package of design changes announced by ⁦@tiktok_uk⁩ today. It's great to see a major platform lead by the front on safety-by-design, reducing the opportunities for child sexual abuse https://newsroom.tiktok.com/ ...

  TikTok privacy changes: will now set accounts for users age 13-15 to private by default, and will also turn “Suggest your account to others” to “Off.” For 16-17 y/o's, default setting for duet/switch will be set to “friends,” among other changes. https://newsroom.tiktok.com/ ...

  TikTok is changing its privacy settings for younger users. - Default setting for 13-15 year-olds is private - Everyone comment setting removed - Ability to download videos produced by under 16s is removed https://newsroom.tiktok.com/ ...

  TikTok is making it so every account owned by someone younger than 16 will be set to private by default...but also their videos will not be able to be downloaded, which I expect will be the bigger change that will annoy teens https://newsroom.tiktok.com/ ...

  Huge and welcome move by TikTok - making all accounts for under-16s private by default - doubtlessly angering kids and pleasing parents. https://newsroom.tiktok.com/ ...
