  • Users under 18 automatically have accounts set to private
  • The anti-bullying feature helps to prevent cyberbullying by allowing creators to control what comments can be posted. 
  • Users 13-15 can set the comments section to “off” or “only friends.” 
  • Direct messaging is not available for users under 16. 
  • Anyone over 16 will automatically have the setting to download video content by users under 16 turned off.  This feature should prevent child predators from saving videos of TikTok’s youngest users. 
  • Parents can set a Bedtime Block.
  • Users also have the option to block inappropriate content and report it to TikTok.

Although this is not always the case, viral TikTokers like Charli and Dixie D’amelio, Addison Rae and Noah Beck are among those criticized for this reason, though they each possess millions of followers and are making a lot of money as a result. ]]> 2022-09-19 12:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302915633 Teens Tell Parents What Social Media Means to Them stacy_symborski https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302928271 2022-09-19 12:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302928271 When Pranks Go Too Far stacy_symborski https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302933244 2022-09-19 13:01:22 UTC https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302933244 Positive Aspects of TikTok stacy_symborski https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302940289 2022-09-19 13:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302940289 What Teens Think About TikTok stacy_symborski https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302941999 2022-09-19 13:06:26 UTC https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302941999 TikTok: The Good, Bad, and Ugly stacy_symborski https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302943595 2022-09-19 13:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302943595 What Research Says stacy_symborski https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302948735 2022-09-19 13:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302948735 Using the Platform for Positives stacy_symborski https://padlet.com/stacy_symborski/xq86a05f9uvxvwnj/wish/2302985917 Ambar Driscoll is a model who uses TikTok to convey positive messages to others.
