Ofcom Investigates TikTok Over Inaccurate Parental Control Information

The probe is part of a larger report into child safety measures on video-sharing platforms.

TikTok is under investigation by UK communications watchdog Ofcom for allegedly providing inaccurate information about its parental controls.
Ofcom's probe was triggered after TikTok reported a technical issue that affected the accuracy of the information it provided.
The investigation is part of a larger report by Ofcom into how video-sharing platforms like TikTok, Snap, and Twitch are protecting children from harmful content.
TikTok's parental control system, 'Family Pairing', allows parents to link their account with their child's and manage settings such as screen time and content filtering.
Despite measures taken by these platforms, Ofcom's report suggests that children can still sometimes face harm while using these platforms.
