TikTok has announced a 60-minute daily screen time limit for users who are aged under 18.
If young people hit the new limit, they will have to enter a passcode to continue to use the service that day.
But they will be able to opt out of the new measure, which TikTok said will be rolled out “in the coming weeks”.
The video app, which is owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, said on Wednesday it is introducing the feature to help people “stay in control” of their use.

世界真的笑话,以前都是中国政府怕把美国油管洗脑,现在美国政府怕美国人民被中国抖音洗脑,美国什么时候变成这么不自信了,是不是世界格局改变了
I love tic tok becas it d tic tok because there’s videos we like every day because we like seeing people doing cool stuff and one hour will suck for me to not watch people doing stuff I don’t like it when my parents will put a password to my stuff from me watching stuff like tic tok
I’m personally not apart of the matrix I’ve never watched a TikTok I’ve seen a few clips
I can’t be;I’ve how stupid this world has become we aren’t focused on the most important of problems the world is in crisis and war and here we are with a problem off an app and addiction omg
Honestly, this could be good for our society because people could actually get off their asses.
你们不用抖音。你们就无聊生活吧。抖音是最后的软件。全宇宙都喜欢抖音。
So they created a multi billion $$ app with a complex algorithum with addiction problems, and the best soloution they can come up with, 60min screen time, which you can opt out of.. how about locking the app after 60mins with a 48hr countdown to unlock afterwards.
its all about the money!
US government is scare of children favourite app.
Destroying minds.
By using the US logic, every country should be afraid and ban facebook, google, youtube, Microsoft, Mac OS and so on, because they collect data and be used by the US government to spy on people. To make it worse, the user data for facebook, google, youtube, and so on, are all stored on the servers inside the US, so if you are a non-us user, the US government can touch your data from the US social media platform. Meanwhile Tik Tok's data is stored on servers inside America, so Byte Dance or anyone outside US can't touch it, so if you are a US Tik Tok user, you are actually safe from the spying activities of both US and Chinese government. But maybe this is why the US government wants to ban Tik Tok, becuase the Tik Tok data cannot be accessed by any government, which means the US government can't spy on its own citizens LOL!
Also if the US ban Tik Tok out right, then it is a violation of free speech and it also shows US is paranoid and it has no confidence what so ever about itself.
Just ban it … For God's sake, you need a special correspondant for it now?
puTin is insane. ccP underwrites him. wallStreeT underwrites ccP. Maybe I'm nobody – maybe I"m level 4. Either way anyone on waLLstREet who funds or enriches or enables the ccP is serving a monSTer who eats HUMAN BEINGS. So, if I am level 4, uze grEEdY MFs personally gonna be mArked if you transfer that cash to ccP – das IBlis, meaning visiT from RECON, SEALS and/or DELTA will occur – just a matter of tiME. And they won't be comin with zip ties.
The only reason they are doing this is to deflect against any talk of banning the app due to security reasons.
If you don’t understand why that is, read TikToks user agreement. It’s insane
tok tik will be a better alternative for the western market
which means this is how bbc gets more viewers and subscribers
CNN – " TikTok is spreading gun violence , racist content, pornography to our kids "
Nty
It still doesn't help cause you can literally just fake your age
Just delete this shitty platform completely.
I’ve heard of TikTok but don’t like any of the ‘social media’ sites and from all accounts I’m well out of it! 😊 🤔 is YouTube considered social media?
I never open tictoc account
The Chinese themselves have limits on their children they want to destroy our communities please parents do something don't let the kids bully you
天天黑中国是怕中国打你们?
Ban TikTok
Just ban TikTok, don't create anymore drama. This is just stupid.
You'll be sorry…..
This is a internet Chinese spy organization.
Oh wow a spy balloon..? Oh wow look at all these tiktoks…………………..
Children are the only ones who have legitimate free time, not much of it and it doesn't last long. They use Tik-Tok for creative passions and dancing. Addicted adults are the ones who are using Tik-Tok in an unhealthy way because their interests and pursuits are much less innocent. There's nothing that can be done. It's up to the individual to have self-control and assess the value of their time and what happens to their brain when they eat garbage all day. Nothing is going to change. Adult humans are the worst. If you wait to rely on an app from China setting parameters for your child's mental health, you've already failed by waiting for someone else who doesn't care about your kid to do the parenting. Adults are the ones who are sick, anyway.
Chinese government are a bunch of 🤡
Tick Tock, it's on the label…
Everyday is world book day. Not just once a year like the BBC would have you believe!
