06-28 TikTok Announces it Will Establish a Youth Council in Hopes of Building a Better Platform for Teens

TikTok announced it will establish a youth council that will be tasked with creating safety tools that are more effective for its younger users.

In a blog post shared with NBC News on Monday and published on Tuesday, TikTok said the council, which will comprise teenagers, will provide the company with feedback from younger users about their experiences with TikTok, as well as help the company avoid building safety tools that are “ineffective or inadequate.”

TikTok’s global head of product policy, Julie de Bailliencourt, said the company planned to launch the council in the next few months but did not give a specific date.

​​“It’s still very early stages, but, again, our goal is that we keep designing really effective products and policies that protect young people but also enable them to find a voice,” de Bailliencourt said. “And we absolutely need to listen intently to what young people have to say about this.”
