Britain’s media regulator, Ofcom, has launched a probe into TikTok to understand whether its UK unit failed or is failing to protect children from harmful content. The probe comes a month after the government imposed a blanket ban on social media for users under the age of 16 and imposed restrictions on gaming and live-streaming platforms.

Ofcom will probe whether the platform has measures to assess if a particular user is a child and adequate systems and processes to prevent children from viewing harmful content. In May, the regulator said TikTok had failed to set out meaningful steps to protect British children from harmful online content.
