TikTok has announced a range of new updates to its Community Guidelines as it seeks to evolve its rules and tools in line with increasing usage.
TikTok has been heavily scrutinized over its approaches to content moderation, and what it allows from young users, and has even been banned in some regions over 'immoral and indecent' video clips. This is a key area of concern - according to reports, around a third of TikTok's US users are under 14 years of age, and even the most followed TikTok star, Charli D'Amelio, is only 16.
Protecting young, vulnerable people is critically important, and with so many youngsters flocking to the app, it's rightfully become the focus of regulatory groups looking to ensure adequate protections are in place.
