TikTok defends youth safety amid EU push for age limits

TikTok's public policy chief Ali Law defended the platform's safety measures as the European Union moves forward with plans to restrict children's access to social media and explore age limits. Law told CNBC that TikTok has more than 50 preset safety settings for users under 16, including screen-time limits, a 10 p.m. break takeover, and restrictions on direct messages and TikTok Shop features. The comments come amid increasing global regulatory actions — Australia has legally enforced a ban for children, and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said the bloc will press ahead after a special panel on child online safety. The article notes TikTok spent $2 billion on trust and safety last year and references recent legal scrutiny of social platforms, including a case where Meta and Google were found negligent by a jury.
