TikTok is introducing a ratings system for its videos
According to a blog post shared on Wednesday, TikTok will begin rolling out an early version of the feature in coming weeks and place a “post unavailable” message to block out videos that are age restricted. To determine which videos fall into that restricted category, TikTok will assign a “maturity score” based on the video’s “thematic maturity” levels.
A representative for TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for clarification on what the maturity scores would look like or who would be assigning the scores. Other filtering tools will allow users to filter out hashtags or specific words to avoid seeing those types of videos on their For You feeds.
The feature rollout comes as TikTok has come under scrutiny for displaying adult content and other potentially harmful videos, such as those promoting eating disorders and drug use, to minors.
