The business model of TikTok, is based on the time spent in the social network and as a result the gains to be derived from the advertising revenue of the custom. The system's recommendations were developed to create a dependency and as a result, in order to keep users on the platform for longer, regardless of the risks involved in the use of the binding.

We disagree strongly with this statement, many of whom believe that they are inaccurate and misleading. We are proud of, and we remain deeply committed to the work that we do to protect the teens, and we will continue to update and improve our product. We also offer a measure of the strengths of safety, we proactively to users of the suspect, a minor, and we have launched the women at the forefront of safety and security as well as the limits of a predetermined time in front of the screen, pairing of the family, and the privacy the default for children under 16 years of age. We have been committed to working with the Prosecutor General for more than two years now, and it's incredibly disappointing that they have made this decision in the country that are working with us to solve construction challenges across the industry.
