Social networks are able to absorb their users a lot. We probably don’t tell you anything new. After all, it is similar with video games or mobile phones in general. China, for example, has been battling all these scandals for a long time exposed especially children. After the local government gradually reduced its gaming (especially at night), another radical intervention came into contact with addictive entertainment. Chinese children really have a new one very limited access to the TikTok application.

This time, politicians did not take this step, but directly the company ByteDance, which operates this social network with short videos. The new rule is: Children under 14 can run TikTok only 40 minutes a day, moreover only between 10 and 18 o’clock. This is within the framework of the so-called Youth Mode, which will, in addition to this restriction, also recommend to young viewers educational, natural or artistic content. At the same time, of course, it will eliminate the faulty one.
