TikTok is taking a significant step to reduce young people's access to appearance-altering filters, amidst growing concerns about their mental health impact.
The platform's new initiative aims to limit filters for users under 18 and enhance transparency regarding appearance effects, but it remains to be seen if it's genuinely helpful.
TikTok plans to expand information regarding filters' impact on user appearance, with a commitment to refresh guidance for creators on potentially harmful effects.
