TikTok to set one-hour daily screen time limit by default for users under 18 | CNN Business

Teenage TikTok users will be able to turn off this new default setting, which will roll out in the coming weeks. But the feature change could bolster the digital well-being of younger users by requiring them to opt out of stricter screen time limits rather than clearing the higher bar of opting in to them. . The move comes after TikTok and other social media platforms have faced years of scrutiny over their impact on young users, including their potential to lead teens down harmful rabbit holes.

“While there’s no collectively-endorsed position on how much screen time is ‘too much’, or even the impact of screen time more broadly, we recognize that teens typically require extra support as they start to explore the online world independently,” Keenan wrote in a blog post. Keenan added that if a teen decides to turn off this new default limit and spends more than 100 minutes on TikTok a day, they will be prompted to set a daily screen time limit for themselves.

Ghey have users OVER 18?

Oh no. 🥺 ciruno2

My students say they are on social media 6-9 hours a day...Tiktok & Instagram lead the addiction. I have a 'no phone' in the room policy-- even when they are waiting for class to start -- to encourage real time interaction and not a parasocial one. Took Twitter off assignments.

1 PLATFORM MADE FOR KIDS MADE UNSAFE BY ADULTS.. WHY NOT BAN ANYONE OVER 18...OOPS SORRY OVER 18z MAKE MONEY.. DRY BEGGING.. (ILLEGAL).. TT TAKE A CUT.. SAD WORLD THAT KIDS PAY FOR ADULTS WRING DOINGS

Google Family Link lets you set time limits for any app that kids can't turn off at all. I limit my kids YT and Roblox time with family link

Need to do it to everyone

They can identify as a 19 year old - problem solved

They can take TikTok

🤣😂🤣😂🤣... Too little, too late!

W TikTok

Ringuette Good start if true.

What is to stop the teens from making a new account with a birthday above age 18?

Please just delete the whole app

I can see the riots and public outbursts coming

Ok, but the user can reset y continue. If you are going to post the news, post all of it

elonmusk is this correct

Great news

Only one hour of Biometrics a day kids ☝ 😐ffs

Ideally ban and delete the App. Say goodbye to CCP.

How about for adults. It should be like 3 hours

That sounds like a good start. It was about time! However, most kids tend not to declare their real date of birth when they sign up on the app.

And suddenly all P1nkAcH00 accounts changed the birthyear to 2006 or create another P1nkAcHOO_1 account. 2h it is 😂

Trump was right ! But rather than acknowledge such a thing . We will make small Lil steps one by one.

cc f

Parfait

So everyone will be over 18 on tik tok….wooow!!

Good thing I turn 18 this Saturday lmao

Sounds like a lot of kids are gonna have to change their birthday in the settings… this is brilliant 🙄

Lmfao

But the system can mess with under age girls ? sadcountry

But its a kids app why we getting our time cut?

Love this!! All apps should be like this

This is so stupid but if you think about it this app stared as musically FOR KIDS …. Then the adults took over and now you guys want to take something that was theres first .

China!

Everyone just gonna say they are 18 lol. This is dumb

A lot of 18 year old birthdays incoming.

If governments wants to ban it like weed, it's probably good for you.

Anyone else have constant trouble with the Score app? GamblingTwitter Jalencarter

Queue everyone under 18 now changing their DOB to 18+

Well, I guess we know why TikTok users are becoming more and more creative with their 60 second videos!

I guess China figured out how to steal credit card data in less than an hour.

This will just make them lie about their age when creating the account

it's an idea, but enforcement is the key to it having an impact

Why would the company implement? Doesn’t make sense.

Interesting concept, but how do you know how old they are because they told ?

Wonderful, useless apps brainwashing our children.

I'm sure that'll go over big; got the feeling if I were married to a shopaholic and asked Amazon to do the same...they'd laugh in my face

In great news!
