The TikTok application faces accusations of not respecting the privacy of users, especially adolescents and children, due to the large spread of the Chinese video application in all circles, and this is what prompted the company to make a set of changes in the privacy and usage policy level for teenage and minor users to avoid criticism and perhaps Legal prosecutions

Among the most important changes made by TikTok is that users of the application between the ages of 13 and 15 years will have to create private accounts, and users who want to subscribe will have to send a request before it is approved by the account owners, which will enable them From accessing the content as well as commenting on it and interacting with it
