Is TikTok not protecting children and young people enough?

Translation: machine translated

TikTok has to answer to the EU Commission. The reason for this is the alleged violation of transparency and obligations to protect minors.

  • Addictive design and screen time limits
  • Rabbit-hole effect
  • Age verification
  • Standard privacy settings

Clear and proportionate regulations required

The law focuses on preventing illegal or harmful online activities and the spread of disinformation. The extent to which Tiktok and other platforms that appear on the EU Commission's radar will deal with the allegations remains to be seen.

How do you protect your children from problematic content on social media? Tell us in the comments.

I'm a fan of ideas that make you shake your head at first. And of coffee.
