TikTok will block beauty filters for European teens following pushback

In the coming weeks, minors will be blocked from making their eyes bigger, plumping their lips, and smoothing or changing their skin tone with filters.

TikTok is planning to ban teen users in Europe from using beauty filters that alter their facial features. In the coming weeks, minors will be blocked from making their eyes bigger, plumping their lips, and smoothing or changing their skin tone with filters—all part of an effort to mitigate the impact on teens’ mental health.
