TikTok prohibits users under 18 from using beauty filters

TikTok has decided to limit the use of beauty filters to users under the age of 18 out of concern for protecting their mental health and self-esteem from the negative impact of unrealistic beauty standards from the content.


The fight against the negative influence of social networks on young people becomes an important issue not only for state institutions, but also for platform developers. Banning underage beauty filters is TikTok's first step in this direction. The company intends to continue working to create a safe and healthy environment for young users by controlling the content and features available to minimize negative effects on their mental health and self-esteem.
