Video-App: Tiktok begrenzt Nutzungszeit für Kinder in US-Bundesstaat
Erst erklärte sich der Facebook-Konzern Meta zu Einschränkungen für junge Nutzer seiner Dienste in den USA bereit. Jetzt folgt die Kurzvideo-Plattform TikTok - zunächst in einem Bundesstaat.
Montgomery, Alabama has agreed to limit the usage time for teenage users on TikTok, following a pattern set by Facebook's parent company Meta. The video-sharing platform has offered to pay up to $300 million in order to avoid a pending legal case that is expected to commence the following week. The stipulations include a two-hour daily time limit for younger users in Alabama, as stated by the State Attorney General Steve Marshall.
Additionally, access will be restricted between midnight and 6:00 AM, and teenagers will not be allowed to use cosmetic filters on their videos. This is in line with a recent agreement Meta reached with several states, agreeing to pay up to $18 billion and implement similar restrictions. Meta hopes that other platforms, including Snapchat and YouTube, will also comply with the limitations.
