(TikTok requires users to be at least 13 to sign up). According to a statement from the company, its age-detection system does not automatically ban users. The system flags accounts it suspects are run by users under 13 and forwards those accounts to human moderators for review. TikTok's privacy policy notes that users who do not want the company to use their data can object. The European Parliament is also advocating for mandatory age limits, while Denmark and Malaysia are considering a ban for children under 16.
