TikTok to Ban Minors from Using Beauty Filters
It has become known what kind of ban the social network TikTok is going to introduce against content makers.
Those under 18 years of age will not be able to use beauty filters.
This information was shared by the Guardian newspaper. The corresponding changes were announced at a security forum held at the social network's headquarters in Dublin.
It is noted that TikTok's board has expressed concerns about the mental health of teenagers who often abuse beauty filters.
In this regard, persons who have not reached the age of majority will be prohibited from artificially correcting their appearance. This includes enlarging the eyes and lips, as well as smoothing and changing the skin tone in the editor.
According to the publication, the innovations will come into force in the coming weeks. The exact dates are not specified.
For reference
TikTok is a short video creation and viewing service owned by Beijing-based ByteDance.
