TikTok is raising its minimum age for livestreaming from 16 to 18 from next month. In future, only adults would be able to “send virtual gifts or access monetisation features”, TikTok said. TikTok’s rules say you must not directly solicit for gifts and must “prevent the harm, endangerment or exploitation” of minors on the platform. Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, and Google, which owns YouTube, have a minimum livestreaming age of 13 and already allow users to age-restrict content they upload. Do you think that minimum livestreaming age should be increased to 18 in all social platforms ?
