TikTok glitch allows Shop to appear to users under 18, despite adults-only policy
A TikTok glitch seems to be allowing some teens access to the TikTok Shop tab, despite the e-commerce offering supposedly being restricted to users who are 18 and older, per TikTok’s policy. The issue occurs when a teen originally lies about their age when signing up for TikTok, by entering in a date of birth that indicates they are already 18 or older, but then is later required by a parent to pair the account with their parent’s using TikTok’s built-in parental controls. TikTok’s parental controls, known as Family Pairing, allow an adult to manage a teen account’s screen time, content choices and account privacy, after connecting the two accounts in the app.
