TikTok’s New Initiative with FOSI is Strengthening Digital Safety for Families

TikTok has partnered with the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI) to launch a comprehensive Digital Safety Partnership for Families. This initiative aims to equip parents and caregivers with the tools they need to support their teens’ safe use of online platforms.

Empowering Conversations on Digital Safety 

TikTok and FOSI have developed a flexible resource to facilitate open discussions between parents and teens about online safety, responsible device use, and understanding app rules and features. 

This non-specific, customizable agreement template encourages regular, proactive conversations about digital boundaries rather than reactive discussions post-incident.

Comprehensive Resources for Digital Parenting 

TikTok has revamped its Guardian’s Guide and introduced an updated Teen Safety Center to support this initiative further. 

These resources now include more visual content, interactive quizzes, and detailed information on how to use safety features like content blocking and reporting. 

Feedback from TikTok’s Youth Council and content creators, who are also parents, informed these improvements, ensuring that the resources are comprehensive and user-friendly.

Educational Campaigns and Enhanced Safety Features 

TikTok is also launching a national and local TV campaign featuring popular TikTok creators who are parents. 

This campaign aims to demonstrate the practical application of TikTok’s safety features, such as Family Pairing and keyword filtering, and to provide parents with the knowledge to manage what their teens view and interact with online.

TikTok’s commitment extends beyond resource development to include significant investments in safety features designed to create a positive and age-appropriate experience for teen users. 

By disabling direct messages for users under 16 and implementing a screen time limit for those under 18, TikTok continues to prioritize the well-being of its younger users.

This partnership between TikTok and FOSI illustrates a robust approach to digital safety. It focuses on empowering families with the tools and knowledge to navigate the complexities of the online world responsibly. 

It highlights TikTok’s dedication to enhancing user safety through collaborative efforts and innovative solutions.
