TikTok uses a multi-layered approach to prevent underage users, requiring birthdates at sign-up and employing AI to detect false ages. They remove around 6 million underage accounts monthly and enforce age-appropriate features like messaging limits and content filters for teens. TikTok also offers a fair appeal process for suspensions and collaborates with regulators and industry groups to improve age assurance while balancing safety and privacy.
