China-based social media platform TikTok continues to appear with its innovations for users. The platform came up with a brand new feature that allows you to watch trailers and buy movie tickets on the latest application.
TikTok, which has more than 1 billion users worldwide, also makes security moves especially for younger users. With an announcement made today, the platform announced that it will make some changes in the live broadcasts in the application.
Age limit will be increased to 18 in live broadcasts, live broadcasts for adults will come
In the statements made, it was announced that the existing age limit for live broadcasts on the platform would be increased. Currently, TikTok users must be 16 or older to open a live stream. As of November 23, this age limit will change and increase to 18. In other words, users under the age of 18 will not be able to open a live broadcast on TikTok.
Stating that he made this change for the platform to be more secure, TikTok also announced that adult-specific live broadcasts will also come. With this new feature, which is stated to be coming in the coming weeks, live broadcasts will now be for adults only. In other words, only adult users will be able to watch live broadcasts that fall into this category. In this way, only users under the age of 18 will not be able to watch adult content.
It should be emphasized that adult live broadcasts do not include content that includes items such as sexuality and violence. Such content is still not in line with the platform’s policies. Instead, the company wants to prevent minors from encountering adult-only content that is not interesting or appropriate for them.
Finally, TikTok has brought innovations to the ‘Multi-Guest’ feature, which allows different users to be added to live broadcasts. Accordingly, users will now be able to perform their live broadcasts with five other users.
