TikTok announced plans to block users under 18 from accessing beauty filters on its platform amid legal pressures and growing concerns over the impact on young users' mental health, such as anxiety and self-esteem issues. The company is also tightening its systems to prevent users under 13 from signing up. The new measures, which will prohibit minors from using filters that artificially enlarge eyes, fill lips, and alter skin tone, are expected to be implemented within weeks.
