TikTok is recruiting teens’ help for its new “youth council.” The teens on the panel will provide advice to the company, especially about enhancing safety measures for the app’s young users. The extent of influence that TikTok’s “youth council” will have on the company’s policies is unsure, but it does highlight the critical role that teens play in the platform. This also closely follows the House’s approval of a new bill that may lead to TikTok being banned in the U.S., although it remains unclear if the council will take significant action to challenge this notion.
