Summary of TikTok CEO explains to congress why his kids aren't on the app
00:00:00TikTok CEO explains that their approach is to give different experiences for different age groups and allow parents to decide whether it is appropriate for their children to use the app. For kids under 13, the experience is highly restricted, with all content vetted by a child safety expert and no ability to post or view personalized feeds or ads. The CEO's own children live in a country without the under 13 experience, but if they lived in the US, they would be allowed to use it. TikTok wants to provide a good user experience and does not want to monetize from users under 13, hence the different mechanisms in place based on local regulations.
