How far do TikTok’s new parental controls go?


  • English
  • Arabic

TikTok has announced three new additions to its Family Pairing functions, which allows parents to limit and customise the amount of time their children spend on the social media platform.

The app has an age rating of 13 and over, but according to a 2022 study by data analysts Sensor Tower, 25 per cent of users are aged between 10-19.

Family Pairing was introduced in 2020 to “allow parents and teens to customise their safety settings based on individual needs". It included screen time management, restricted mode limiting the type of content that could be seen and turning off direct messaging.

The additional functions revealed this week are aimed at “helping families establish an ongoing dialogue about safety and well-being in the digital world," says TikTok.

They include customised daily screen time limits, the addition of a screen time dashboard summarising how many times the app was opened; a breakdown of total time spent on it, as well as a mute function enabling parents to schedule which times teens can receive notifications.

Accounts below the age of 18 will also automatically be set to a 60-minute daily screen time limit, which will require a passcode to extend.

“It’s definitely a good starting point to regulate the platform for younger users,” says Nicole Clarke, director of social media and content at Tish Tash communications agency in Dubai. “The time limit gives them an understanding in context of how much time they are actually spending on the app, as often, the scrolling that we do is mindless and non-intentional.”

‘Restriction misses the bigger picture’

But social media strategist Alexandra Carvalho believes the new restrictions miss the bigger picture.

“Personally, I am not a fan of having caps on time spent on apps or online,” says the founder of Alex House of Social. “I’m a little bit skeptical when these types of restrictions are forced, especially on young people, who are at a time in their lives of independence and discovery.

“Humans have a natural tendency to rebel, and in my experience, the moment you start restricting teens, or anyone of any age for that matter, they will simply find another gateway or outlet such as Snapchat, Discord or Instagram.”

Dialogue around social media and teenagers has long tended to focus on restriction and monitoring rather than education and awareness, with the onus placed on parents to constantly monitor their children’s internet use.

“Are we having healthy conversations about how teens should be spending time on social media?” asks Carvalho. “We need to be educating teens and adults about the content they consume, that’s the bigger picture.”

Controls still require consistent monitoring by busy parents

Deemed "too dangerous to be on our children's phones” by US congressman Michael McCaul, Chinese-owned TikTok is currently the subject of a looming vote in US congress to enact a national ban — although McCaul's concerns have more to do with national security as opposed to its consumption.

Mother-of-two and co-founder of the Dubai Mums blog, Clementina Kongslund, says that restriction is not always possible without constant monitoring of children.

“When we first used the time limit feature, the reaction was not good and all we heard was ‘Why do we have to have time limits?’” she says. “However, while we can control the amount, we cannot control entirely what they are watching, it’s just not feasible.

“Monitoring children on social media is a huge effort for the parents. I don’t remember my mother looking over my shoulder as much as I am with my children, always needing to watch and be vigilant. It’s a challenge.”

Carvalho suggests setting boundaries rather than restrictions is a more effective way to communicate with teens.

Though the new restrictions might seem like a quick fix, they give users a gentle nudge to stop scrolling, or at least think about taking a break, Clarke says.

"And they then have to make the conscious decision to keep going if they want to."

If children are circumnavigating screen time restrictions, parents can download an app — Clarke suggests Freedom — which shuts social media apps down until the following day once the time limit has been reached.

"These are great for people who struggle to stay away from social media, even after the time limit pops up, as it gives them no option," she says.

Tearful appearance

Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday. 

Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow. 

She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.

A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.

How to keep control of your emotions

If your investment decisions are being dictated by emotions such as fear, greed, hope, frustration and boredom, it is time for a rethink, Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at online trading platform IG, says.

Greed

Greedy investors trade beyond their means, open more positions than usual or hold on to positions too long to chase an even greater gain. “All too often, they incur a heavy loss and may even wipe out the profit already made.

Tip: Ignore the short-term hype, noise and froth and invest for the long-term plan, based on sound fundamentals.

Fear

The risk of making a loss can cloud decision-making. “This can cause you to close out a position too early, or miss out on a profit by being too afraid to open a trade,” he says.

Tip: Start with a plan, and stick to it. For added security, consider placing stops to reduce any losses and limits to lock in profits.

Hope

While all traders need hope to start trading, excessive optimism can backfire. Too many traders hold on to a losing trade because they believe that it will reverse its trend and become profitable.

Tip: Set realistic goals. Be happy with what you have earned, rather than frustrated by what you could have earned.

Frustration

Traders can get annoyed when the markets have behaved in unexpected ways and generates losses or fails to deliver anticipated gains.

Tip: Accept in advance that asset price movements are completely unpredictable and you will suffer losses at some point. These can be managed, say, by attaching stops and limits to your trades.

Boredom

Too many investors buy and sell because they want something to do. They are trading as entertainment, rather than in the hope of making money. As well as making bad decisions, the extra dealing charges eat into returns.

Tip: Open an online demo account and get your thrills without risking real money.

How Islam's view of posthumous transplant surgery changed

Transplants from the deceased have been carried out in hospitals across the globe for decades, but in some countries in the Middle East, including the UAE, the practise was banned until relatively recently.

Opinion has been divided as to whether organ donations from a deceased person is permissible in Islam.

The body is viewed as sacred, during and after death, thus prohibiting cremation and tattoos.

One school of thought viewed the removal of organs after death as equally impermissible.
