TikTok to tighten age verification in Europe

TikTok will introduce new age verification technology for European users, 24KZ reports, citing Reuters. The system will more effectively identify and delete accounts of children under 13. To identify minors, their profiles, including posts, photos, and videos, will be analyzed. If necessary, the platform's moderators will also conduct additional verification to prevent erroneous account blocking. The developers tested the technology in several European countries for a year and confirmed its effectiveness. As a reminder, in December 2025, Australia became the first country in the world to ban children under 16 from social media. #zhalyktar #news #24KZ #khabar24 #kazakhstan
