My understanding is that you have to state your age is at least 13 years of age to create a tiktok account, meaning these kids were lying about their age to create an account… right?
I’m not defending tiktok, but am also confused how this aspect or the “lack of parental consent”mentioned in the article ends up being TikTok’s responsibility.
I did read the article, I’m just confused about those aspects.
