Some TikTok users say they have been flagged by an age verification system the platform is now rolling out in the US.

There's nothing wrong with giving a time limit to verify your age, and safety is why this extra step is needed. TikTok has to act whenever the site may suspect someone is too young because it does not ask for proof when signing up. The United States has many ways of requiring children to be protected online, and so these steps are necessary.

Spotify's U.K. users must now verify their age to access some content on the streaming service as a wider Online Safety Bill comes into force.
