TikTok limits screen time.

(RT) ⸻ TikTok has set a one-hour daily screen time limit as the default for users under the age of 18, increasing the use of its screen time management tools by 234%. The app has also expanded the capabilities of its Family Pairing function, allowing parents to filter out videos containing certain keywords or hashtags from their child's feed and mute notifications on a custom schedule. While former US President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans have sought to ban the Chinese-owned social media platform, TikTok's dominance of the social media market has raised questions about whether that's even possible. A study published in December claimed teen users were shown potentially harmful content related to suicide and eating disorders within minutes of signing up for the app, while psychologists have warned young users are acting out rare psychological conditions they see on the platform. Last year, a coalition of state attorneys general launched an investigation into whether TikTok was truly harmful for kids.
