TikTok CEO reveals his kids don’t use the social media platform

Shou Zi Chew, the CEO of TikTok and Singaporean entrepreneur, has revealed in an interview that his kids don’t use the social media platform.

Chew said his two kids, who are eight and six-years-old, were too young for the platform.  

“TikTok here in the US if you are below the age of 13, you get a very restricted version of it, and in many other countries around the world. We do not allow users who are below 13 to have the platform,” he said.


Chew also said it was a legal requirement that kids under the age of 13 have to have a different app effectively. He also revealed that he would not limit the restriction so kids could have access to TikTok.

The minimum age for a TikTok user is 13 years old but it does not have any age verification tools when new users sign up.
