At TikTok, we're known for entertainment, but behind the scenes, we commit it to safety within our community.

That's why we set all TikTok accounts age between 13 and 15 as private, with no access to direct messaging.

Our family pairing tool lets you link your account to your teens, so you can adjust what content they see,

and manage how long your family spends on TikTok with our screen time management tool.

Safety, your priorities, our commitment.

We're going to talk about the events in Atlanta last week, and we remember the humanity that should always remain the center of these kinds of discussions.

We talked about, again, how we approach this issue with compassion, but also how we have to look out for the safety of our citizens and how we have to protect our borders.

It is a humanitarian crisis that has been, it's lasted for a long time, but it's been exacerbated by Biden's policies.

Now there is basically a gag rule. It seems for journalists. They're not allowed to have access to parts of the border. They're not allowed to talk to particular agents. They're really not allowed to see what's going on.

That is a demand. That is a command from the Biden administration that they're basically not allowed to really report on what's going on at the border.

If that were happening under Donald Trump, if the Trump administration basically said, hey, sorry, you can't have access to what's going on at the border.
