What is TikTok?
TikTok is a social media application owned by Bytedance for the world outside China. It specialises in short-form videos which are displayed through a vertical scroll. It was released in 2018.
What is Douyin?
TikTok but in China. (Released 2016)
These two are owned by the same company (Bytedance) but are incredibly different
What are some regulations on each app?
Douyin (For Children under 14)
- App locks between 10pm-6am
-Max 40min/day
-"Positive" content pushed by algorithm
This may be caused by the CCP wanting their children to grow as best as possible and to have fundamental Chinese values alongside a wide variety of intelligence. These regulations may be applied as Douyin may be held directly responsible for breaches with the CCP.
TikTok
-Nothing
US Law: Section 230
