For quite some time now, there’s been sentiment brewing that Douyin needs to do more to protect its younger users. It’s especially been criticized for vulgar content which is clearly inappropriate for minors. And indeed, back in January, the app was fined the maximum penalty for spreading online what’s been described as quote “obscene, pornographic and vulgar information” endquote.

And just how many of the app’s users are minors?

Good question. An incredible 600 million people are using the app every single day. That being said, according to a report released in May 2020 by China Internet Network Information Center, it seems that the country had a total of 175 million underage internet users in 2019 at least. And half of them watched short videos regularly.

That’s a pretty crazy number of people. So let’s hear about Douyin’s clean-up efforts.

Well, the short video sensation has taken a number of steps. Speaking at a youth protection open day event on Tuesday, the app said its banned more than 200,000 malicious accounts targeting minors. Douyin said it also took down more than 2 million illegal videos last year.

And, the platform has also added a new so-called youth mode feature in order to prevent minors from becoming addicted to the app. Here’s how it works. Once the youth mode is switched on, users can watch the app for no more than 40 minutes each time. They also won’t be able to use the app between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

On top of that, all the videos which will be accessible under the youth mode setting will also have been screened by the app’s content reviewers. Such content will also be limited to science, education, and animation videos with no commercials.

Alright, well let’s talk about livestreamers. Weren’t there a few cases where kids logged into their parents’ accounts to spend money on digital gifts for their favorite livestreamers?

Yeah, an increasing number of such incidents have been reported.

Douyin appears to have taken note of such concerns and it’s come up with a way to prevent youngsters from sending gifts to live-streamers. This includes using facial recognition technology to detect minor users. If Douyin finds that any live-streamers are encouraging minors to send gifts to them, then these online entertainers will be banned from the platform. And Douyin has been making good on this promise. In a crackdown early this year, the app banned over 200 live-streamers for violating this particular rule.
