TikTok has no function to verify age – so while this looks like a big deal, it just means 9-year-olds are going to say they're 16 instead of 13https://twitter.com/sophiasgaler/status/1250757664415649792 …
New from me : TikTok is stopping under 16s on the app from sending or receiving DMs. This is the first time a major social media platform has introduced changes like these. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-52310529?intlink_from_url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c255806071xt/tiktok&link_location=live-reporting-story …

Worth being aware that from next year they’ll have to have age assurance measures in place, that’s because of regulation from the Information Commissioner, so that should address this

When spending the summer with her dad, my astute 10 year old joined and we didn't have a clue. Once back with me I found out, but she managed to defy my ban and evade detection - until her TikToks started showing up on my cloud.

Most online age verification is just a check that the user is capable of subtracting 13/16/18 from the current date.

Doesn't the app store have age verification? My children have to request parental permission to download all apps. It drives them nuts. Apps could do more but so could parents.
