TikTok is testing the possibility of restricting live streams to viewers 18 and older

[{ "selector": ".oddow-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.35612535612518px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".crrno-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 380px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

TikTok is experimenting with a new setting that enables users to only allow viewers who are as least 18 to see their live feeds.

[{ "selector": ".mdpwb-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 432px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".xabeb-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

The business informed TBEN that a small number of users are now testing the new setting.

[{ "selector": ".rfspg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 442px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".wdbcw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Users who have access to the new setting can go to their settings and activate the "mature themes" button to restrict their LIVE to adults

[{ "selector": ".oxftt-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 402px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".ngbmk-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

according to screenshots of the new setting published by product intelligence company Watchful.ai

[{ "selector": ".stnsj-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 452px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".pneuk-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

If you activate it, the app warns that "only users 18 and older can access your LIVE."

[{ "selector": ".qzirf-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 452px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".cfgib-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Once you turn on the setting, TikTok will inform you that LIVE videos marked as 18+ will always be taken down if they don't adhere to the app's Community Guidelines

[{ "selector": ".lllds-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 392px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".xgwfj-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

which cover such things as prohibitions on indecent exposure, sexual behaviour, and violence.

[{ "selector": ".ksjjg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 422px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".qfsau-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

It's crucial to remember that users cannot stream adult content using TikTok's new 18+ restriction setting for live streams because the content is still governed by the app's regulations.

[{ "selector": ".iuqon-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 362px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".sucii-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Instead, it's a means for content producers to keep kids from seeing material that might not be interesting to them or be meant for mature audiences

[{ "selector": ".mdcze-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 412px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".jbngq-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

A few months ago, TikTok said that it would begin prioritising identifying appropriate content for younger and older teens above adults. Now, there is a new setting

[{ "selector": ".jgdsf-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 391px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".qprlw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

In addition to asking content creators to indicate when their work is better acceptable for adult audiences

[{ "selector": ".nejgx-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 422px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".unocf-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

TikTok claimed it was creating a method to identify and block access to specific categories of content for teenagers.

[{ "selector": ".xfqog-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 422px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".owdpu-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-132.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]
