Dave Sunday: “Safety features such as restricted mode and family pairing…”

“I say again, the age restrictions that TikTok purports to maintain are essentially worthless. Approximately 70% of under 16 year olds on social media self report as being over 18. Safety features such as restricted mode and family pairing often fail and are easily circumvented. TikTok knows that restricted mode does not work and does not meet consumer expectations. Yet TikTok touts restricted mode as a safety feature without warning parents that restricted mode does not meaningfully restrict the availability of mature content.” (07:05–07:14)
