Amid mounting concerns (and lawsuits) about the impact of social media on children’s mental health, TikTok on Wednesday set a 60-minute time limit on screen time for users under 18, and announced several new pairings. Announced adding rental controls. However, these “restrictions” are actually more like suggestions. There are ways for young users to continue using your app after their usage time limit has passed.<\/p>\n

The news comes amid a larger debate about the harms of social media to young people and a tremendous amount of scrutiny on TikTok itself over its ties to China. While it appears to be taking the lead over TikTok, it probably won’t be enough to allay the national security concerns many lawmakers have (or say they have) about TikTok. It may not be enough to allay their concerns that the media is harming their children. <\/p>\n
