TikTok has launched new safety features allowing parents increased control and visibility over their children's usage of the app, including time limits and a family pairing function. However, while these developments are recognized as positive steps by child safety advocates, concerns persist over the app’s potential harm to mental health and the possibility of children disabling these controls. The app is also facing multiple lawsuits alleging that it is detrimental to children, raising questions about the effectiveness of these new measures.

"I was like, 'Wow, maybe TikTok is really going to do something meaningful,' and they didn't."
"...advocates say TikTok's efforts are welcome but not enough to solve the problem..."
