TikTok to Enhance Age-Verification Measures Across the EU

TikTok is set to introduce improved age-verification technology throughout the European Union in the next few weeks. This move aligns with growing global calls, including in the UK, to adopt stricter social media restrictions for users under 16, similar to Australia’s approach. Owned by ByteDance, TikTok and other platforms like YouTube face mounting pressure to more effectively identify and remove underage accounts.
