Bobby Allen: NPR 和肯塔基公共广播电台审查了 TikTok 的内部文件，这些文件显示该公司知道其应用程序具有成瘾性，并且其声称的青少年保护措施无效。文件显示，青少年在 TikTok 上花费 35 分钟后就可能上瘾，并且 TikTok 故意淡化其算法的成瘾性，以提高公众信任度。此外，文件还显示 TikTok 会根据其认为有吸引力的标准来推广用户，并淡化其他用户。这些发现对正在进行的关于 TikTok 儿童安全性的诉讼具有重大意义。 TikTok发言人: TikTok 谴责 NPR 报道保密信息，并表示该公司拥有强大的安全措施，积极删除未成年用户，并自愿推出家长控制等安全功能，以增强未成年人（16 岁以下）的隐私保护。
