Social media platform TikTok has removed 7 million children’s accounts.
The accounts were believed to belong to people under-13 years of age. At the moment users have to be 13 and over, the people behind the viral video platform say they’re working on making the social media platform everyone.
The app says the accounts it deleted make up less than 1% of the app’s users across the world.
Lots of children and young people are big fans of the social media app TikTok. It’s provided a fun way for people all over the world to create and watch content.
It’s the first time the platform has published figures like this. It says it hopes the detail about under-age users will “help the industry push forward when it comes to transparency and accountability around user safety”.
