Teens on TikTok are getting more oversight as the app introduces new parental controls. Parents can now block specific accounts, get notified when their teen posts publicly, and view certain privacy settings their teens select through TikTok’s updated Family Pairing feature. These changes come as YPulse data shows parents are concerned over their kids screen time—72% of parents worry their kids spend too much time on screens. TikTok is also rolling out “Well-being Missions” to promote healthier digital habits for users of all ages, but especially the youngest through pushing earlier log-offs at night. Safety features are expanding for creators too, including AI-powered comment filtering and a new content check system to ensure posts meet community standards before going live. (TechCrunch)
