EU Demands TikTok Protect Kids Online | Johannesburg News
Description
The EU is cracking down on TikTok over child safety, demanding the platform make accounts private by default to shield minors from cyberbullying and predators—despite TikTok’s claim that teen accounts are already private.

As Europe pushes for broader social media bans for kids under 13 and even a unified age verification app, TikTok faces mounting pressure to overhaul its default settings—or face the consequences.
