There is no doubt that TikTok, the most popular platform in the world, is not the same as China, since the country of the billion depends on another application that offers a less harmful product and is designed to protect its youth. .
In detail, a new tech report, citing US Department of Defense experts, said that the TikTok platform, which infiltrates the devices of young people and teenagers, does not do so in China, as the latter accepts the local version of the other. The application is called Douyin and has its own laws to protect users.
New warning
Doin contains almost the same features as TikTok, but with one major difference, as users under 14 are required to use Teen Mode to protect themselves.
To greatly reduce their negative impact, Duyen limits their use to 40 minutes a day from 6 am to 10 pm to get enough sleep.
They are also offered only “inspirational” content, specially selected and carefully selected from scientific, medical and other materials.
Douyin also monitors, through a set of preventive measures, the time a young Chinese user spends on the platform and the types of content consumed while viewing it, according to what Nicholas Chailan, chief program officer for the US Department of Defense, confirmed. New York Post.
The expert also confirmed that the algorithm is very different between the two apps as it expands the scientific, educational and historical content in China through Douyin while forcing the rest of the users to watch silly dance videos on TikTok with the main goal of “make us silly” like he expressed himself in relation to the Americans.
Big problems
Remarkably, children and teens around the world watch an average of 91 minutes of TikTok video per day, giving the platform unprecedented access to the eyes, ears, hearts and minds of young people.
While concerns about TikTok’s massive impact on youth in America prompted FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to demand that Apple remove the platform from its App Store.
However, the company did not respond to a request.
